Brief Summary

This study evaluates differences in how administering liposomal bupivacaine via two different methods affects postoperative pain control in laparoscopic abdominal surgery patients. Half the participants will receive liposomal bupivacaine via a transverses abdominis plane block while the other half will receive liposomal bupivacaine via local infiltration.
