Preoperative Suprazygomatic Maxillary Nerve Block to Reduce Perioperative Opioid Use in Pediatric Primary Cleft Palate Repair: Preliminary Clinical Experience

Preoperative ultrasound-guided SMNB may be associated with reduced perioperative opioid consumption in pediatric primary cleft palate surgery. Larger, preferably randomized trials are needed to confirm its role in multimodal analgesia protocols.
