Peribulbar vs. incisionless sub-Tenon's blocks: a retrospective cohort study.

Eur J Med Res

December 2024

Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Faculty of Medicine, Osmangazi University, Büyükdere Mh, Odunpazarı, 26040, Eskişehir, Turkey.

Background: Ophthalmic procedures are increasingly being performed under regional anesthesia techniques such as peribulbar and incisionless sub-Tenon's blocks. The aim is to compare peribulbar block with incisionless sub-Tenon's block in terms of perioperative complications in patients who underwent cataract and vitreoretinal surgeries.

Methods: The patients who underwent cataract or vitroretinal surgery under peribulbar block or incisionless sub-Tenon's block were included in the study.

Changes in rates of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery over the last 23years.

J Fr Ophtalmol

December 2024

Quinze-Vingts National Ophthalmology Hospital, IHU FOReSIGHT, 28, rue de Charenton, 75012 Paris, France; Sorbonne Université, Inserm, CNRS, Institut de la Vision, IHU FOReSIGHT, 17, rue Moreau, 75012 Paris, France.

Purpose: Acute postoperative endophthalmitis (APE) is a rare but severe complication of cataract surgery. During the most recent decades, the use of povidone-iodine (PVI) before surgery combined with intracameral cefuroxime has drastically reduced the incidence of endophthalmitis. The goal of this study is to describe the changes in endophthalmitis rates after cataract surgery over the past two decades in a large tertiary ophthalmology center.

Background: Cataract surgery, particularly phacoemulsification, often requires sedation alongside topical anesthesia to manage patient anxiety and discomfort. This protocol proposes a study comparing the efficacy of ketamine and fentanyl, both combined with benzodiazepine, as sedation options for patients undergoing bilateral phacoemulsification.

Methods: In a randomized, double-blind, crossover clinical trial, at least 48 patients scheduled for bilateral cataract surgery will receive fentanyl with midazolam for one eye and ketamine with midazolam for the other.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the effects of ketorolac and diclofenac eye drops on sedation and pain relief in patients undergoing cataract surgery who received tetracaine anesthesia.
  • Conducted in 2022, the double-blind trial involved patients from Amirkabir hospital and assessed various factors like pain, sedation, and overall satisfaction during and after surgery.
  • Results showed that ketorolac significantly reduced pain compared to diclofenac, while sedation levels differed depending on the group, with the artificial tear group using more propofol and reporting lower satisfaction.

Purpose: To describe two cases of extramacular paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM)-like retinal ischemia after vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for epiretinal membrane (ERM).

Observations: Case 1 involved a 78-year-old woman with a history of hyperlipidemia and preoperative visual acuity (VA) of 20/20. Case 2 involved a 72-year-old man with a history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and preoperative VA of 20/32.
