The aim of this study was to determine the effect of maxillary nerve blockage on both postoperative pain scores and recovery quality index in septoplasty operations. Thus, it was aimed to determine an alternative method that can be used in postoperative analgesia that will suppress postoperative pain complaints and increase the comfort level of patients after septoplasty operations.
Patients who were planned to be operated for septoplasty at Adıyaman University Training and Research Hospital, who were informed about the study and agreed to participate in the study with their written consent were included in the study. The patients who agreed to participate in the study were divided into two groups by closed envelope method and bilateral maxillary nerve blockade was planned to be performed using 10 cc 0.25% bupivacaine via suprazigomatic approach after providing airway safety in the block group with general anaesthesia applications in both groups. The haemodynamic values (blood pressure arterial, peak heart rate, peripheral oxygen saturation), postoperative numeric pain scores and postoperative quality of recovery index (QoR-15) values at the 24th hour were recorded and these values were compared in both groups. Thus, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of maxillary nerve blockade in septoplasty operations.

It is aimed to reach the maxillary nerve trace with a peripheral nerve block needle using the suprazigomatic approach and to create a temporary block in the maxillary nerve with local anaesthetic injection.

RECRUITINGThe visual analog pain score
The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain."
Time frame: three months
Quality of recovery (QoR -15)
The QoR-15 scale is a unidimensional measurement of quality of recovery measured in five domains: physical comfort, pain, physical independence, psychological support, and emotional state. The QoR-15 scale provides a score ranging from 0 to 150, with a high score indicating a good quality of recovery
Time frame: three months
