Local infusion of ropivacaine for pain control after osseous free flaps: Randomized controlled trial

Head & Neck Mar 02, 2021

Roof S, Ferrandino R, Eden C, et al. - Researchers performed this randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of local infusion of ropivacaine for treating donor‐site pain after surgery. The sample consisted of patients undergoing osteocutaneous fibula or scapular tip free flaps for head and neck reconstruction at Mount Sinai Hospital. Study participants were randomized to receive local infusion of ropivacaine or saline. Findings revealed that there were 8 fibular free flap and 10 scapular free flap reconstructions. In this population, local infusion of ropivacaine did not affect donor‐site specific pain scores.
