[Deafness surgery in adults. The growing role of improved local anesthesia].

Abstract

As deafness surgery is subject to the two imperatives of safety and reduction of bleeding, local anaesthesia constitutes a very satisfactory solution. The concomitant administration of Midazolam and Buprenorphine relaxes the patient and ensures analgesia and anterograde amnesia, allowing the surgeon to operate under excellent conditions. Over the last 6 months, except in one subject under the age of 16 years and one psychologically very fragile patient, all surgical operations for deafness, regardless of their importance, have been performed under local anaesthesia improved by means of diazanalgesia. It is probable that in the future, numerous cophosurgeons will adopt a similar protocol.
