    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A novel circumferential peribulbar anesthesia technique effectively eliminates intraoperative pain during phacoemulsification. This combined topical and subconjunctival approach enhances anesthesia for eye surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Anesthesia

    Background:

    • Topical anesthesia alone may be insufficient for certain ophthalmic procedures.
    • Blocking specific nerve plexuses can improve anesthetic efficacy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a new anesthesia technique for phacoemulsification.
    • To enhance topical anesthesia by targeting perilimbal and ciliary nerves.

    Main Methods:

    • A combined technique of topical 4% lidocaine hydrochloride (Xylocaine) and subconjunctival Xylocaine was developed.
    • The subconjunctival injection was administered 3.0-4.0 mm superior to the limbus and spread 360 degrees.
    • This circumferential peribulbar anesthesia was used for phacoemulsification in 68 patients.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • No intraoperative pain was reported by any of the 68 patients.
    • The technique successfully blocked the perilimbal nerve plexus and long posterior ciliary nerves.

    Conclusions:

    • Circumferential peribulbar anesthesia is a safe and effective method for achieving profound anesthesia during phacoemulsification.
    • This technique offers a significant improvement in patient comfort by eliminating intraoperative pain.
