Extended-release liposomal bupivacaine is frequently used in surgical infiltration for postoperative pain control. The manufacturer recommends against subsequent local anesthetics within 96 hours. We administered epidural bupivacaine one day after local liposomal bupivacaine infiltration for staged hemipelvectomy without symptoms of LAST. Further pharmacokinetic and clinical safety studies are needed.

Open or arthroscopic repair of hamstring tear requires both hard and soft, posterior and proximal thigh analgesia. Regional injections to completely relieve this unique pain are not available to the best of our knowledge. We present a novel, single injection, performed under ultrasound guidance, that utilizes the deep piriformis space.

Objective: To compare the postoperative complication rates of anal sacculectomy procedures in dogs treated with or without liposomal bupivacaine (LB).
Methods: Medical records of 397 client-owned dogs treated with closed anal sacculectomy between 2016 and 2023 were retrospectively identified and grouped on the basis of administration of LB (LB group) or not (non-LB group). Details of short-term (< 15 days) postoperative complications were recorded from physical examination and client communication notes as well as referral documents and compared between groups.

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have informed perioperative care across multiple surgical specialties, optimizing patient outcomes through surgical stress management and accelerated recovery. This study evaluates the familiarity and adoption of ERAS elements among craniofacial and oral and maxillofacial surgeons in pediatric orthognathic surgery, a field where a formal ERAS protocol has not been established. A closed-ended survey of 102 surgeons was conducted to assess familiarity with and utilization of 14 ERAS elements.
