Clinical Trial Summary

Vitreoretinal surgery has evolved to less invasive procedures, and it is used to treat a wide range of diseases. So anesthesia for vitreoretinal procedures has evolved, promoting adequate analgesia while reducing risks to the patient. In the present study two types of procedures for anesthesia during vitreoretinal surgery are evaluated regarding the pain referred by the patient during the whole procedure: peribulbar anesthesia versus sub-tenon injection plus topical jelly anesthesia. Through the comparative analysis of the pain scale of the two groups it is expected that the two modalities present the same anesthetic efficacy, showing that the methods used may be equivalent.

Study Design


Intervention

Procedure:
Topical lidocaine 2% jelly plus sub-tenon ropivacaine 10% injection

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Duration of surgery Duration of vitrectomy in minutes Once At the end of vitrectomy surgery
Other Anesthetic medications Other anesthetic medication for controlling pain administered during the study Once during the vitrectomy surgery
Primary Pain score Pain score referred by the patient measured with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The VAS consists of ruler with 100 cm in length and scale from 0 to 100, where the numbers of this one are visible only in the side of the examiner. It is constructed from a metal ruler with a total length of one meter, supported by two transparent acrylic side supports and a sliding and movable metal weight on the metallic part of the ruler.
Before the measurement of pain, the examiner will explain to the patients the functioning of the VAS. Each patient will be encouraged to pass the marker along the scale, with the help of the examiner. It will be made clear to him that point "0" is the point of the scale which represented "no pain", what is considered the better outcome, and point "100" corresponded to the most intense pain he could feel. The patient will be asked about: Intraoperative pain - the intensity of pain throughout the procedure.
Once 30 minutes after the end of the vitrectomy surgery
Secondary Surgical complications Surgical complications referred by the surgeon during vitrectomy Once At the end of vitrectomy surgery
