Perioperative Analgesia and Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting Management in Otoplasty: A Systematic Review

Regional nerve block is the most effective strategy for perioperative pain control in otoplasty, halving opioid use and improving early pain scores. Adjunctive propofol and hyoscine further reduce PONV, with no serious or lasting complications. Standardized multimodal protocols and high-quality trials-especially in pediatric and awake procedures-are required to strengthen evidence and broaden applicability.

Abstract

Regional nerve block is the most effective strategy for perioperative pain control in otoplasty, halving opioid use and improving early pain scores. Adjunctive propofol and hyoscine further reduce PONV, with no serious or lasting complications. Standardized multimodal protocols and high-quality trials-especially in pediatric and awake procedures-are required to strengthen evidence and broaden applicability.
