Abstract |
Objectives |
To evaluate operative comfort and stress in patients undergoing stapedotomy for otosclerosis under local versus general anesthesia.
Material and methods |
Consecutive otosclerosis patients managed over a 9-month period responded to 3 validated questionnaires to assess peri- and post-operative comfort: Glasgow Benefit Inventory, Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale and the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist Scale. These results and audiometric data were compared between local and general anesthesia groups.
Results |
Twenty-one patients were included in the local anesthesia group and 7 in the general anesthesia group, after exclusion of patients with history of otosclerosis surgery. There was no significant inter-group difference on Glasgow Benefit Inventory (P=0.38) or Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist Scale (P=0.86). Perceived Stress Scale scores were higher in the general anesthesia group (P=0.038). In total, 67% of patients reported no discomfort under local anesthesia, and 86% were ready to undergo the procedure under local anesthesia again. There were no significant differences in postoperative symptoms, or in air-bone gap≤10dB (local anesthesia 81%, general anesthesia 71%; P=0.156).
Conclusions |
Local anesthesia in otosclerosis surgery did not increase stress or postoperative symptoms compared to general anesthesia. Audiometric results were not affected by type of anesthesia.
