Several perioperative analgesic strategies lead to comparable postoperative consumption of narcotic and time to resume oral intake. The authors advise careful consideration of NCA due to the potential for increased narcotic utilization that we found in our institution. Based on our promising findings, further studies are warranted to assess risks, benefits, and costs of performing peripheral nerve blocks at the time of palatoplasty.
