Study Summary

This study will assess analgesia after robotic lung surgery. Subjects will be randomized to receive wound infiltration and intercostal nerve block with either liposomal bupivacaine or bupivacaine/epinephrine + dexamethasone. Liposomal bupivacaine is a newer local anesthetic product and has not been compared to a combination of bupivacaine/epinephrine + dexamethasone in the context of pain control after robotic lung surgery.
