title: [Sub-tenon block for ocular globe anesthesia: a review].
abstract: Sub-Tenon anesthesia is an effective, well-tolerated technique for surgery in the anterior or posterior compartments of the eye. The advantages of this block are comparable to those of peribulbar and retrobulbar anesthesia and complications are minimal. Sub-Tenon anesthesia provides better analgesia than akinesia. Most studies suggest that sub-Tenon anesthesia is a good technique to choose, given that potential adverse effects are fewer than for other regional blocks and analgesia and akinesia are superior.
