Clinical Trial Summary

Ultrasound as a technique is safe, readily available, quick and portable allowing more accuracy of different regional blocks and local infiltration. It allows imaging of the mouth, oropharynx, infrahyoid structures, larynx, vocal cords, and trachea. Recently, ultrasound has been shown to improve accuracy in ultrasound guided block with local anesthetic infiltration. The objective of our study is to compare the effect of pre-emptive trans-oral ultrasound guided peritonsillar infiltration versus trans-cutaneous ultrasound (US) guided peritonsillar infiltration with bupivacaine for post-tonsillectomy analgesia, on surgical field, and surgeon satisfaction(intra-operative reactionary bleeding).

Materials and Methods: the patients will be admitted for tonsillectomy at ENT department of the Al- Azhar university hospitals. The patients' ages between 3 to 15 years. Patients will be divided into Cutaneous group: patients will be submitted to Trans-cutaneous ultrasound guided peritonsillar infiltration with bupivacaine, and Oral group: patients will be submitted to Trans-oral ultrasound guided peritonsillar infiltration with bupivacaine.
