According to the Company, the study evaluated 82 patients who underwent laparoscopic colectomy, a minimally invasive surgery to remove all or part of the colon using several small incisions in the abdomen. Commenting on the release, Dave Stack President, CEO and Chairman of Pacira, said, "There are millions of laparoscopic inpatient procedures performed annually in the United States, with the goal of reducing postsurgical pain and speeding patient recovery. This study has successfully demonstrated that even in minimally invasive procedures, EXPAREL makes a strong positive impact on both opioid use and hospital economics. The results of this and all of the IMPROVE studies underscore the value of EXPAREL, not only as an effective and long-lasting non-opioid analgesic, but also as an integral component of a hospital or provider's efforts to improve both the patient recovery experience and hospital economics."
