Summary
Opioids are prescribed for moderate to severe pain disorders; however, there are
contraindications and side effects that are common to all opioids. The investigators
hypothesize using regional anesthetic during sinus surgery will reduce surgical pain,
therefore decreasing the need for post-operative opioid medication. The primary of objective
is to determine if a long-acting local regional anesthetic applied during a surgery will
reduce post-operative oral opioid usage.
