This study found that a novel local anesthesia technique for middle ear surgery, including temporary facial weakness, was safe and effective. Both patients and surgeons reported high satisfaction with the anesthesia quality.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Middle ear surgery requires effective anesthesia.
  • Local anesthesia offers advantages but can be challenging to administer effectively.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the adequacy and safety of a simplified local anesthesia technique for middle ear surgery.
  • To evaluate patient and surgeon satisfaction with the anesthesia quality.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty-two patients undergoing middle ear surgery under local anesthesia were evaluated.
  • A technique involving iatrogenic transient homolateral facial weakness was employed to simplify administration.
  • Patient and surgeon assessments of anesthesia adequacy were recorded.

Main Results:

  • The local anesthesia technique, including transient facial weakness, was found to be adequate for middle ear surgery.
  • Both patients and surgeons reported high satisfaction with the anesthesia quality.
  • No adverse effects were reported related to the anesthesia or facial weakness.

    • Conclusions:

    • This simplified local anesthesia method is a safe and effective option for middle ear surgery.
    • The technique provides satisfactory anesthesia and is well-tolerated by patients.
    • Transient facial weakness did not negatively impact patient outcomes or satisfaction.
