Regional Anesthesia for Head and Neck Reconstruction

Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Pain, Postoperative

In brief

By utilizing regional anesthesia blocks at the surgery tissue donor sites, it can potentially reduce post-operative pain while also reducing the use of opioids. It can aim to measure the reduction in opioid use, reduction in pain scores, patient satisfaction, and because there is not a current protocol established for regional anesthesia use for free flap reconstruction, and we aim to standardize the procedure.
