This study is looking at whether using liposomal bupivacaine (a long-acting local anesthetic) during surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back) can help patients recover faster. Researchers will compare patients who receive liposomal bupivacaine to those who receive a standard local anesthetic during their surgery. The main goal is to see if liposomal bupivacaine can shorten your hospital stay. You may be able to join if you are an adult (18 or older) having surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis and meet other health requirements. The current status of this study is unclear, but it plans to enroll 100 participants.
