Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will evaluate the efficacy of bilateral infraorbital nerve block versus preoperative nasal packing with long-acting local anesthetic bupivacaine in term of maintaining hemodynamics intraoperative within 20% below baseline to achieve adequate hypotensive anesthesia and longer duration of postoperative analgesia up to 24 hours in patients undergoing transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma resection.
