The Effect of Bilateral Infraorbital+ Infratrochlear Nerve Block for Rhinoplasty Operations

The Effect of Bilateral Infraorbital+ Infratrochlear Nerve Block on Perioperative Remifentanil Consumption and Postoperative Pain Scores for Rhinoplasty Operations

The aim of our study is to examine the effect of bilateral infraorbital and infratrochlear nerve blocks for rhinoplasty operations on perioperative remifentanil need and postoperative pain scores.

Rhinoplasty operations are one of the most applied cosmetic surgeries in the world.

Depending on the procedure type and hemodynamic lability, the quality of the surgical field, perioperative and postoperative complications as well as the success of surgery are affected.To provide improved surgical field quality, controlled hypotension and high concentrations of inhalation anesthetics, magnesium sulfate, remifentanil, clonidine, calcium channel blockers, tranexamic acid, intravenous nitroglycerin have been used.

The American Society of Anesthesiology recommends using regional anesthesia methods and administering multimodal analgesia in every possible surgery. In our study we have performed bilaterral infraorbital an infratrochlear nerve blocks which are main nerves of the nose, for the patients of rhinoplasty. With blocking the infratrochlear and infraorbital nerves we will examine the need for remifentanil during surgery, postoperative pain scores.
