Combination Dexamethasone and Bupivacaine Pain Control in Reduction Mammaplasty
The addition of dexamethasone to non-liposomal bupivacaine in perineural blocks has been shown to enhance pain control and prolong the time until first request for postoperative narcotics in the fields of orthopedic, thoracic, and gynecologic surgery. This has not been investigated in any types of breast surgery. The investigators assessed if the combination of dexamethasone to bupivacaine in the preoperative field block prior to bilateral breast reduction surgery resulted in improved pain control relative to bupivacaine alone.
