Summary
Maxillary nerve blocks have been shown to significantly reduce post-operative pain and
analgesic intake during the 24-hour period following sinus surgery. This randomized,
double-blinded, placebo-controlled study will investigate blocks of the pterygopalatine fossa
using a suprazygomatic approach during septorhinoplasty surgery. It is the investigator's
hypothesis that this technique will result in decreased post-operative pain and opioid use,
and the morbidity associated with it.
