Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Orbital regional anesthesia is a valuable technique for ophthalmic surgery.
  • It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot tolerate other anesthesia methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the safety and efficacy of orbital regional anesthesia.
  • To emphasize the importance of anatomical knowledge and precautions for successful administration.

Main Methods:

  • Review of intraconal and extraconal techniques for orbital anesthesia.
  • Emphasis on anatomical landmarks and safe injection areas within the orbit.

Main Results:

  • Orbital regional anesthesia provides excellent operating conditions and patient comfort.
  • Both intraconal and extraconal approaches are safe and effective when performed correctly.
