Clinical Trial Summary

Maxillo-mandibular osteotomy is a painful surgery which requires mostly opioids use. Recent studies on maxillary and mandibular nerve blocks have suggested benefit in maxillo-facial surgery but have been poorly investigated in orthognathic surgery. This study is designed to evaluate analgesic effectiveness, through opioids consumption, of a bilateral double ultra-sound guided nerve blocks (maxillar and mandibular nerve) in maxillo-mandibular osteotomy.

Description:

Maxillo-mandibular osteotomy is a frequent but painful procedure in maxillo-facial surgery. It mostly requires opioids use which lead to well known side effects. Regional anesthesia has strongly modified post-surgical rehabilitation of many procedures. Maxillary nerve block has proved its efficiency on opioid consumption reduction in pediatric cleft palet surgery but has been rarely evaluated in orthognathic surgery. Mandibular nerve block has never been investigated in maxillo-mandibular osteotomy as well as benefit of bilateral ultra-sound guided technique to perform these nerve blocks. Consequently, this trial is designed to evaluate analgesic effectiveness of a double ultra-sound guided nerve blocks (maxillar and mandibular nerve) in maxillo-mandibular osteotomy.

This monocentric, single-blinded, randomized controled trial is designed with 2 groups of 25 patients receiving either bilateral double ultra-sound guided nerve block (maxillary and mandibular) with ROPIVACAINE 4.75mg/mL either local infiltration of LIDOCAINE 1% at incision sites by surgeon after general anesthesia induction during maxillo-mandibular osteotomy. Per et post-surgery anesthesic protocol and analgesia are standardized for both group. The main outcome corresponds to opioid consumption in MME of the first 24h after surgery. Follow-up occurs at 24h and 48h after end of surgery to assess analgesia, pain and opioid consumption.
