title: [Peribulbar anesthesia in surgery of the vitreous body and retina].
abstract: Peribulbar anaesthesia was used in 40 patients undergoing vitreoretinal surgery; two injections of a mixture of bupivacaine 0.5% and hyaluronidase were performed in the lower and the upper eyelid. Results were judged very satisfactory in 38 of these 40 cases, for anaesthesia as well as for akinesia; no local or systemic complications were observed. Peribulbar anaesthesia is one of the methods of choice, because of its safety; it seems well appropriate for vitreoretinal surgery, provided that its indications are judicious.
