Abstract
Objectives
To compare early results in isolated ossiculoplasty under potentialized local anesthesia and general anesthesia.
Material and method
A single-center retrospective observational study included 123 consecutive patients treated by isolated ossiculoplasty between September 1, 2019 and March 1, 2021 in a French private hospital. The main aim was to compare the management pathway (operating room time, hospital stay, outpatient management rate, “by-pass” rate of direct return to the outpatient department without passing through the recovery room) according to potentialized local anesthesia versus general anesthesia. Secondary endpoints comprised audiometric results and post- and intraoperative complications (nausea and vomiting, pain, dizziness, crossover). The significance threshold was set at P < 0.005. The STROBE guideline was followed.
Results
In total, 123 patients were included: 41 with local and 82 with general anesthesia. The two groups were comparable except for type of surgeon. The rate of outpatient treatment was significantly greater with local anesthesia (93% vs. 55%). Operating time and operating room, recovery room and outpatient room occupancy times were shorter with local anesthesia. Postoperative dizziness was significantly more frequent with general anesthesia. Audiometric results did not differ.
Conclusion
Potentialized local anesthesia can improve organizational management and outpatient rates in ossicular surgery, without impairing the quality of results.
期刊介绍:
European Annals of Oto-rhino-laryngology, Head and Neck diseases heir of one of the oldest otorhinolaryngology journals in Europe is the official organ of the French Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SFORL) and the the International Francophone Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SIFORL). Today six annual issues provide original peer reviewed clinical and research articles, epidemiological studies, new methodological clinical approaches and review articles giving most up-to-date insights in all areas of otology, laryngology rhinology, head and neck surgery. The European Annals also publish the SFORL guidelines and recommendations.The journal is a unique two-armed publication: the European Annals (ANORL) is an English language well referenced online journal (e-only) whereas the Annales Françaises d’ORL (AFORL), mail-order paper and online edition in French language are aimed at the French-speaking community. French language teams must submit their articles in French to the AFORL site.
Federating journal in its field, the European Annals has an Editorial board of experts with international reputation that allow to make an important contribution to communication on new research data and clinical practice by publishing high-quality articles.
