Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialSub-Tenon infiltration or classical analgesic drugs to relieve postoperative pain.
In a prospective randomized double-blind study, the analgesic effect produced by sub-Tenon infiltration was compared with classic analgesic drugs in patients scheduled for posterior segment surgery under general anaesthesia. ⋯ Sub-Tenon infiltration with 3 mL of bupivacaine 0.50% offers excellent postoperative analgesia for about 6 h and is an excellent alternative to classical drugs. Furthermore, it is highly reliable and safe.
