[Infra-orbital nerve block in early primary cheiloplasty].
A prospective study have studied the effect of infraorbital block during anesthesia in infants with a cleft lip. The study was conducted during the year 1994, in the hospital Necker Enfants-malades. During this period 51 cleft lip surgery were performed. Anesthesia for infants with cleft lip using bilateral infraorbital block is a safe, simple and quick technique, and result in a good longlasting analgesia, seems to decrease the risk of respiratory depression, and allows an immediate and comfortable awakening.
