Local anesthesia is a safe and effective option for pediatric ocular surgery in Senegal, even in younger patients. Careful patient preparation and parental involvement are key to successful outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Anesthesiology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Context:

  • Senegalese experience with pediatric ocular surgery.
  • Retrospective study of 309 patients under 15 years old.
  • Comparison of local versus general anesthesia.

Purpose:

  • To present the Senegalese experience with local anesthesia in pediatric ocular surgery.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of local anesthesia in children.
  • To identify advantages and disadvantages of local anesthesia in this population.

Summary:

  • Local anesthesia was administered to 38.8% of pediatric patients (mean age 11.51 years).
  • No complications were reported in the local anesthesia group; one postponement due to lack of cooperation.
  • Procedures included cataract surgery (62.5%), corneal laceration repair (16.7%), and mutilating surgery (10.0%).
