Patients who received preparation of the nasal mucosa with TCLE, compared with TE, were less likely to report severe pain or receive an opioid analgesic in the postanesthesia recovery room and had faster anesthetic recovery. This observation from our large clinical practice indicates that use topical and local anesthetic during endoscopic sinus surgery may have benefit for ambulatory ESS patients.
