Local anesthesia for middle ear surgery provided adequate anesthesia and patient comfort. Surgeons and most patients were satisfied, with minimal adverse effects reported, indicating a safe and effective approach.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Anesthesia

Background:

  • Middle ear surgeries traditionally require effective anesthesia for patient comfort and procedural success.
  • Local anesthesia offers a potential alternative to general anesthesia, minimizing systemic effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the adequacy of local anesthesia and patient comfort during middle ear surgery.
  • To assess the incidence of iatrogenic facial weakness as a complication.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 100 consecutive patients undergoing middle ear surgery.
  • Assessment of anesthesia adequacy and patient comfort by both patients and the operating surgeon.
  • Evaluation of potential complications, specifically iatrogenic facial weakness.

Main Results:
