Title: A Pain Relief Trial Utilizing the Infiltration of a Multivesicular Liposome Formulation Of Bupivacaine, EXPAREL®: A Phase 4 Health Economic Trial in Adult Patients Undergoing Open Colectomy
Brief Summary: This study is designed to compare the standard of care against EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome extended-release injectable suspension) to determine if total opioid consumption is reduced when using EXPAREL, therefore possibly reducing total hospitalization costs.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Male or female, at least 18 years of age.
* Patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic segmental colectomy with planned primary anastamosis, as defined by cecectomy, right hemicolectomy, resection of transverse colon, left hemicolectomy, or sigmoidectomy. (Note: patients who converted from a planned laparoscopic colectomy to an open colectomy were not eligible.)
* Ability to provide informed consent, adhere to study visit schedule, and complete all study assessments.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with a history of hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reactions or intolerance to any local anesthetic, opioid, or propofol.
* Patients who abuse alcohol or other drug substance.
* Patients with severe hepatic impairment.
* Patients currently pregnant or who may become pregnant during the course of the study or who are unwilling to use acceptable means of contraception for at least 1 month before and 1 month after dosing. Acceptable means of contraception include hormonal contraceptives (e.g., oral, injectable, implantable), effective barrier methods (e.g., condoms with spermicide), intrauterine device, lifestyle with a personal choice of abstinence, non-heterosexual lifestyle, or in a strictly monogamous relationship with a partner who has had a vasectomy.
* Patients with any psychiatric, psychological, or other condition that the Investigator feels may make the patient an inappropriate candidate for this clinical study.
* Participation in an EXPAREL study within the last 30 days.
* Patients who have received any investigational drug within 30 days prior to study drug administration, or planned administration of another investigational product or procedure during the patient's participation in this study.

In addition, a patient was ineligible if he or she met the following criteria during surgery:

* Patients who had any concurrent surgical procedure.
* Patients with unplanned multiple segmental resections of large intestine.
* Patients who converted from laparoscopic-assisted colectomy to traditional open colectomy.
* Patients who had unplanned, temporary or permanent colostomies, ileostomies, or the like placed.
* Patients who received intraoperative administration of opioids (other than fentanyl or analogs) or any other analgesic, local anesthetics, or anti-inflammatory agents.
* Patients who received Entereg.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Males ≥18 years of age at the Screening visit.
2. Scheduled to undergo unilateral inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia, using an open, tension free procedure (e.g., Lichtenstein technique with or without mesh).
3. American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) Physical Class 1 or 2.
4. Able and willing to comply with all study visits and procedures.
5. Capable of speaking and understanding the local language sufficiently to provide responses to pain assessment scales.
6. Willing and capable of providing written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Clinically significant electrocardiogram abnormalities at Screening or on Day 1 (pre administration).
2. Albumin and/or alpha 1 acid glycoprotein (AAG) below normal levels.
3. Current or historical evidence of any clinically significant disease or condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might have increased the risk of surgery or complicated the subject's postoperative course.
4. Opioid medication usage during the 7 day period preceding the administration of study drug.
5. Current medical conditions that could have required treatment with analgesic medications in the postoperative period for pain that was not surgically related (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis).
6. Body mass index \>30 kg/m\^2
7. Body weight \<60 kg.
8. History of hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reaction to amide type local anesthetic agents.
9. History of hypersensitivity, idiosyncratic reactions, and other contraindications to the pain control agents (opioid or non-opioid) anticipated to be used postoperatively. These contraindications may have included: angioedema and bronchospastic reactivity to non steroidal anti inflammatory drug, peptic ulcer (active within the last three months), hepatic or renal insufficiency.
10. Coagulation disorders or ongoing anticoagulation treatment.
11. Administration of an investigational drug within 30 days or five half lives (of elimination), whichever was longer, prior to study drug administration.
12. Suspected or known history of substance abuse and/or alcoholism.
13. Clinically significant complications during the hernia repair surgery (e.g., excessive bleeding), which might have rendered the subject medically unstable or might have complicated the subject's postoperative course.
C: Inclusion Criteria:
