Aim: This study evaluated use of liposomal bupivacaine (LB) versus standard bupivacaine (SB) alone in quadratus lumborum (QL) blocks for laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Materials & methods: In this prospective, randomized controlled trial, patients received QL1 blocks with either LB (40 ml 0.125% SB plus 20 ml of LB) or SB (60 ml of 0.25% SB) with 30 ml per side. Opioid usage, pain scores, side effects and other medications were recorded. Results: For 78 patients (38 LB; 40 SB), all parameters were similar between groups, except that the LB group had a higher 48 h need for metoclopramide. Conclusion: LB provided no analgesic benefit over SB alone for QL blocks. Clinical Trials registration number: NCT03702621
