Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block as Adjuvant to General Anesthesia Regarding the Quality of Surgical Field in Trans-Sphenoidal Endoscopic Hypophysectomy

29. april 2026 opdateret af: Nada Ashraf Mohamed Fathy, Cairo University

The Efficacy of Ultrasound Guided Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block as Adjuvant to General Anesthesia Regarding the Quality of Surgical Field in Trans-Sphenoidal Endoscopic Hypophysectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound guided sphenopalatine ganglion block (SPGB) through the suprazygomatic approach in optimizing the quality of surgical field as well as its effect on postoperative pain relief in patients undergoing transsphenoidal pituitary surgeries under general anesthesia.

Studieoversigt

Detaljeret beskrivelse

The main surgical treatment for pituitary adenomas is endoscopic trans-sphenoidal hypophysectomy.

Among the many regional blocks used is the sphenopalatine ganglion block (SPGB). It is one of the parasympathetic ganglia in the head, located in the pterygopalatine fossa, posterior to the middle nasal turbinate, 1-5 mm deep to the mucosa, anterior to the pterygoid canal and lateral to the sphenopalatine foramen.

This superficial location makes it easy to block the ganglion transnasally by topical anesthesia or by injection through many approaches including transnasal, intraoral, infrazygomatic and suprazygomatic approaches.

Hvad måler undersøgelsen?

Primære resultatmål

Resultatmål
Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Quality of surgical field visibility
Tidsramme: Intraoperatively

Quality of surgical field visibility will be measured at the beginning of surgery and at 30 mins interval through a pre-defined average category scale (ACS) (from 0 to 5). The ideal category scale values for surgical conditions were pre-determined to be ≤3.

0=No bleeding

  1. Slight bleeding - no suctioning of blood required
  2. Slight bleeding - occasional suctioning required. Surgical field not threatened
  3. Slight bleeding - frequent suctioning required. Bleeding threatens surgical field a few seconds after suction is removed
  4. Moderate bleeding - frequent suctioning required. Bleeding threatens surgical field directly after suction is removed
  5. Severe bleeding - constant suctioning required. Bleeding appears faster than can be removed by suction. Surgical field severely threatened and surgery not possible
Intraoperatively

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Intraoperative fentanyl consumption
Tidsramme: Intraoperatively
The hemodynamic objective of the anesthetic plan is to maintain mean arterial pressure values between 60 mmHg and 65 mmHg to produce an optimal surgical field, this will be done by injection of increments of fentanyl (0.5 μg/kg) up to total dose of 3 μg/kg
Intraoperatively
Total dose of propranolol
Tidsramme: Intraoperatively
In case of reflex persistent increase in heart rate (HR) >100 beats/min, i.v. 0.2 mg increments of propranolol will be given to maintain HR 60-70 beats/min.
Intraoperatively
Total dose of nitroglycerine
Tidsramme: Intraoperatively
In case of reduction of mean arterial pressure (MAP), nitroglycerine infusion will be done through adjustment from 0.5 to 10 μg/kg/ min according to patient response.
Intraoperatively
Amount of intraoperative blood loss
Tidsramme: Intraoperatively
Amount of intraoperative blood loss (by measuring the volume of blood in suction reservoir minus the normal saline used to wash the surgical field)
Intraoperatively
Degree of pain
Tidsramme: 24 hours postoperatively
Each patient will be instructed about postoperative pain assessment with visual analog scale (VAS). VAS (0 represents "no pain" while 10 represents "the worst pain imaginable"). VAS will be measured immediately after the operation, then at 2, 12, and 24hrs.
24 hours postoperatively
Time of 1st analgesia requirement
Tidsramme: 24 hours postoperatively
Postoperative analgesia is performed with administration of paracetamol/acetaminophen (1 g three times a day) and visual analog scale (VAS) ≥4 will be managed by IV dose of 25mg pethidine.
24 hours postoperatively
Total meperidine consumption
Tidsramme: 24 hours postoperatively
Total postoperative meperidine consumption will be recorded.
24 hours postoperatively
Incidence of postoperative side effects
Tidsramme: 24 hours postoperatively
Incidence of postoperative side effects such as postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), headache, visual disturbances, agitation or somnolence will be recorded.
24 hours postoperatively
