Does it Worth to Reinforce With Additional Anesthesia to Improve Postoperative Course After Orthognathic Surgery?

Summary

Bimaxillary osteotomy is a surgery procedure of the orthognathic surgery field for correction of dental and facial abnormalities, for both functional and aesthetic cases. The incidence of this abnormality is 5-10% of the population, and the etiology is unknown, with genetic, environmental and embryonic factors related. The surgery technic is complex, and requires osteotomy of the maxilla and jaw, which allows toward, forward, impact and rotation of these bones to fix the edges of the face. The anesthetic management of these patients is a challenge because of the difficult airway management and the perioperative pain control. Multimodal approach for pain control is a fact, and the use of local anesthesia is mandatory. The investigators propose the infiltration of local anesthesia in two different times, first pre-incision and second before awaking the patient, for a proper control of postoperative pain
