Sub-Tenon's anesthesia offers a safer alternative for anterior segment surgeries compared to retrobulbar injections. This technique provides excellent surgical exposure and patient comfort during procedures like trabeculectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Anesthesia

Background:

  • Retrobulbar and peribulbar injections carry risks for anterior segment surgery.
  • Anesthesia is crucial for patient comfort and surgical success in ophthalmic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Sub-Tenon's anesthesia for anterior segment surgery.
  • To demonstrate the benefits of localized Sub-Tenon's injections for trabeculectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing Sub-Tenon's anesthesia with localized injections over rectus muscles.
  • Applying the technique in anterior segment surgeries, specifically trabeculectomy.

Main Results:

  • Sub-Tenon's anesthesia avoids risks associated with retrobulbar and peribulbar injections.
