A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Topical Intranasal Lidocaine and Levobupivacaine in Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Binostril Transnasal Transsphenoidal Resection of Pituitary Tumors
Conclusions:
Preoperative intranasal packing with 1.5% lidocaine or 0.5% levobupivacaine provide similar hemodynamic stability throughout TNTS. Lidocaine packing may be more advantageous for hemodynamic stability during extubation.
