Brief 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.

Detailed 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.

Evaluation of preoperative anxiety and fear using Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale on post-surgical painpré-anesthesic visit (day -1 or day 0)

The patient's degree of pre-operative anxiety will be assessed using the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information questionnaire in French Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 = "not at all" to 5 = "extremely"

Opioid consumption in Morphine Milligram Equivalents after the first 48 hours post-surgery.48 hours post-surgery

Evaluation of the total consumption of morphine equivalents (Oxycodone Hydrochloride) after the first 48 hours postoperative hour.

Incidence of opioid-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]3 days

Measuring the incidence rate of common side effects associated with morphine drugs

Evaluation of patient satisfaction about medical care3 days (maximum)

The patient's feelings and satisfaction with their care will be evaluated by completing the questionnaire The feeling and satisfaction is rated according to a scale of 5 categories as follows: None, Low, Medium, High and Very High
