Sexmale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • male subjects, aged 18-75.
  • American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical status 1-3.
  • Undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy performed by a single surgeon (Ingolf Tuerk, MD).
  • Subjects must be physically and mentally able to participate in the study and complete all study assessments.
  • Subjects must be able to give fully informed consent to participate in this study after demonstrating a good understanding of the risks and benefits of the TAP infiltration.

You may not qualify if:

  • Demonstrated hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reactions to amide-type local anesthetics.
  • Inability to tolerate oxycodone with acetaminophen (e.g. Percocet).
  • Any subject whose anatomy or surgical procedure in the opinion of the Investigator might preclude the potential successful performance of a TAP.
  • Any subject who in the opinion of the Investigator might be harmed or be a poor candidate for participation in the study.
