Intraoperative Use of Bupivacaine for Tumescent Liposuction: The Robert Wood Johnson Experience

Abstract: A review of the experience at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital reveals that the intraoperative use of bupivacaine for tumescent liposuction in 27 cases appeared to be as safe as other tumescent additives. There did not appear to be a significant difference in the incidence of adverse events or postoperative length of stay for patients who underwent liposuction with bupivacaine compared with other wetting solutions. Among a subset of patients who underwent concurrent abdominoplasty and liposuction proced… Show more

“…Importantly, the concentrations of the tested LAs in this study were within the clinically relevant range for tumescent anesthesia. 18,19 The anesthetic formulation of tumescent solution according to Jeffrey Klein, which is one of the most widely used formulas, contains 500 to 1000 mg/L lidocaine and translates to 2.133 to 4.266 mM lidocaine. 20,21 For a synopsis of the concentrations of ready-to-use local anesthetics in the clinical setting, see Table 2.…”

“…For other LAs like ropivacaine, bupivacaine and levo-bupivacaine, and due to their higher relative potency and their potential higher systemic toxicity (Table 1), doses could be 10 fold less compared to lidocaine [59,60]. The use of long-acting LAs as bupivacaine may offer interesting postoperative analgesia [61] but these drugs are poorly referenced in the context of fat grafting, in which appropriate doses and effects are not well known. This is the same lack of knowledge regarding prilocaine, which has also been used for tumescent anesthesia (maximal dose of 15 mg/kg for safe liposuction) [62].…”
