Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Increasing demand for cataract surgery strains inpatient resources.
  • Day surgery models are essential for managing surgical backlogs and optimizing resource allocation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the methods, efficacy, and safety of retrobulbar and peribulbar anesthesia for outpatient cataract surgery.
  • To assess the suitability of these anesthesia techniques for day surgery settings.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on retrobulbar and peribulbar anesthesia techniques.
  • Analysis of procedural methods, efficacy data, and safety profiles.

Main Results:

  • Retrobulbar and peribulbar anesthesia are effective and safe for cataract surgery.
  • These techniques are well-suited for performance by both anesthesiologists and ophthalmologists in day surgery settings.

Conclusions:

  • Retrobulbar and peribulbar anesthesia are appropriate choices for day surgery cataract procedures.
  • These anesthesia methods support the shift towards outpatient surgical models, addressing resource pressures.
