Office-based oculoplastic surgery is enhanced with a novel local anesthesia system. This technique ensures nearly painless procedures, improving patient and surgeon benefits by enabling outpatient settings.

Area of Science:

  • Oculoplastic surgery
  • Anesthesiology
  • Office-based procedures

Background:

  • Many oculoplastic surgical procedures are suitable for an office-based setting.
  • Transitioning procedures to outpatient settings offers numerous advantages.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a local anesthetic system for achieving excellent anesthesia with minimal discomfort.
  • To detail a method for nearly painless local anesthesia administration.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a combination of conjunctival, topical, and injected local anesthesia for outpatient oculoplastic surgery.
  • Employing optional oral sedation to manage patient pain and anxiety.

Main Results:

  • The described local anesthesia system has been successfully implemented in office-based oculoplastic surgeries.
