Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Compared to Local Anesthetic Wound Infiltration in Gynecologic Oncology Surgery

Study Description

Brief Summary: This study is being done to see if preoperative transversus abdominis plane (TAP) analgesia will provide similar postoperative pain control, hospital length of stay, and postoperative outcomes compared to surgeon-initiated wound infiltration with local anesthetic in participants undergoing laparotomy for gynecologic indications.

Detailed Description: Primary Objective * To evaluate the effects of preoperative TAP analgesia compared to surgeon-initiated wound infiltration with local anesthetic on pain control in subjects undergoing laparotomy. Secondary Objectives * To evaluate the effects of the effects of preoperative TAP analgesia compared to surgeon-initiated wound infiltration with local anesthetic on subject-rated perception of pain in subjects undergoing laparotomy. * To evaluate the effects of preoperative TAP analgesia compared to surgeon-initiated wound infiltration with local anesthetic on length of hospital stay in subjects undergoing laparotomy. * To evaluate the effects of preoperative TAP analgesia compared to surgeon-initiated wound infiltration with local anesthetic on postoperative emetic use and number of recorded episodes of emesis in subjects undergoing laparotomy. * To evaluate the effects of preoperative TAP analgesia compared to surgeon-initiated wound infiltration with local anesthetic on return of bowel function in subjects undergoing laparotomy. * To evaluate the effects of preoperative TAP analgesia compared to surgeon-initiated wound infiltration with local anesthetic on subject satisfaction in subjects undergoing laparotomy. * To evaluate the effects of preoperative TAP analgesia compared to surgeon-initiated wound infiltration with local anesthetic on postoperative complications in subjects undergoing laparotomy. * To evaluate the effects of preoperative TAP analgesia compared to surgeon-initiated wound infiltration with local anesthetic on readmission rates in subjects undergoing laparotomy. * To evaluate the cost of care associated with TAP analgesia compared to surgeon-initiated wound infiltration with local anesthetic on readmission rates in subjects undergoing laparotomy.
