title: Posterior peribulbar anaesthesia for eye surgery.
abstract: The efficacy, reliability, and safety of a modification of posterior peribulbar blockade for various types of ophthalmic procedures were investigated. In the present prospective study we describe the technical conditions of a nerve block considered to be less dangerous for patients. The incidence of failure was low, there was no adverse reaction, and the patients themselves judged the method favourably.
