Randomized Controlled TrialEffectiveness of injection of local anesthetic into the retrobulbar space for postoperative analgesia following eye enucleation in dogs.
To assess the efficacy of a retrobulbar bupivacaine nerve block for postoperative analgesia following eye enucleation in dogs. ⋯ Retrobulbar administration of bupivacaine in dogs in conjunction with traditional premedication prior to eye enucleation was an effective form of adjunctive analgesia and reduced the need for additional postoperative analgesics.
