This study introduces a safe, simple sub-Tenon's anesthesia technique for eye procedures. It offers akinesia and lid block comparable to older methods but without serious complications.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Anesthesia
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Retrobulbar and peribulbar anesthesia are common for ocular procedures but carry risks.
  • A need exists for safer anesthesia methods with comparable efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel sub-Tenon's anesthesia technique.
  • To compare its safety and efficacy against retrobulbar and peribulbar anesthesia.

Main Methods:

  • Administration of sub-Tenon's anesthesia.
  • Assessment of akinesia and lid block.
  • Monitoring for complications.

Main Results:

  • The sub-Tenon's technique provided akinesia comparable to retrobulbar and peribulbar methods.

  • Excellent lid block was frequently achieved.
  • Potentially serious complications associated with other methods were absent.

    • Conclusions:

    • Sub-Tenon's anesthesia is a safe and simple alternative for ocular procedures.
    • It offers comparable efficacy to established techniques with an improved safety profile.
