Peribulbar anesthesia provides effective anesthesia and akinesia for eye surgery, potentially reducing complications. This study evaluated its use in posterior segment procedures, finding it generally successful for shorter operations.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Retrobulbar anesthesia is a standard for eye surgery but carries risks.
  • Peribulbar anesthesia offers a potentially safer alternative, reducing serious complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of peribulbar anesthesia for posterior segment eye surgeries.
  • To assess the safety and effectiveness of peribulbar anesthesia in retinal and vitreoretinal procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Peribulbar anesthesia technique was employed in 32 consecutive patients undergoing posterior segment surgery.
  • The study involved retinal and vitreoretinal surgical procedures.

Main Results:

  • Complete anesthesia was achieved in all cases with a single preoperative block.

  • Akinesia required supplemental injections in 2 patients; intraoperative pain management was needed in 1 case.
  • Postoperative pain was managed with anesthetic drops in 15% of patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Peribulbar anesthesia is effective for posterior segment surgery, particularly for brief procedures.
    • The technique demonstrated a favorable safety profile with manageable complications.
