Postoperative Pain Following Coblation of Sinonasal Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasias

CONCLUSION: This study is the first to analyze postoperative pain management and opioid prescribing patterns in HHT patients undergoing endonasal coblation of telangiectasias. Postoperative pain was mild to moderate and most patients stopped using opioid medications by POD 4, although the majority of patients solely used acetaminophen. Future studies with increased sample size will be useful to further identify predictors of need for analgesics postoperatively and other non-opioid adjuncts for pain control.PMID:37377016 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231182212
