A Study Of Comparison Of Subtenon’s Anaesthesia With Peribulbar Anaesthesia In Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery In Rims Teaching Hospital Raichur

ABSTRACT

Purpose: This study is being taken for comparing the efficacy and complications encountered between subtenonanaesthesia and peribulbar anaesthesia in manual small incision cataract surgery in RIMS teaching hospitalRaichur.Materials and Methods: This comparative study was done on 50 patients (group 1 subtenon anaesthesia (n=25)and group 2 peribulbar anaesthesia (n=25)) with senile cataractwith visual acuity CF/HMundergoing lens extraction by manual small incision cataract surgery with posterior chamber intra ocular lens implantation atinthe Department of Ophthalmology, RIMS teaching hospital Raichur.Results: 56% Subtenon’s anaesthesia group patients, and 32% Peribulbar anaesthesia group patients had nopain, when it compared it is statistically significant (0.048), 20% Subtenon’s anaesthesia group patients, and64% Peribulbar anaesthesia group patients had no grade 0, when it compared it is statistically significant(0.004), and 20% Subtenon’s anaesthesia group patients, and 64% Peribulbar anaesthesia group patients had nograde 0, when it compared it is statistically significant (0.004).Conclusion: Subtenon’s anaesthesia is a safe and effective substitute for preibulbar anaesthesia in Manualsmallincision cataract surgery.
