Efficacy of Intraperitoneal Instillation of Bupivacaine after Bariatric Surgery: Randomized Controlled Trial

Control of postoperative pain is important in facilitating patient convalescence. In this study, we assessed the efficacy of intraperitoneal instillation of bupivacaine after bariatric surgery.
