Transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES) has emerged as a groundbreaking approach in otolaryngology, offering patients minimally invasive solutions for various ear conditions. However, postoperative pain management remains a critical aspect of ensuring patient comfort and recovery.
In recent studies, researchers have been exploring various factors contributing to postoperative pain after TEES and implementing innovative strategies to alleviate discomfort effectively. From surgical techniques to anesthesia protocols, advancements are continuously being made to enhance the postoperative experience for patients undergoing TEES procedures.
One key area of focus has been optimizing pain management protocols tailored specifically to the unique challenges of TEES. By incorporating multimodal analgesia techniques, such as local anesthetics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and opioid-sparing regimens, clinicians are striving to minimize postoperative pain while reducing the risk of opioid-related side effects and complications.
Moreover, researchers are investigating the role of adjunctive therapies, such as acupuncture, nerve blocks, and novel pharmacological agents, in further improving pain control and enhancing patient satisfaction following TEES procedures.
