AIM: To investigate the feasibility of topical anesthesia combined with subconjunctival anesthesia in trabeculectomy and evaluate their effectiveness. METHODS: Eighty-two cases (118 eyes) with glaucoma underwent trabeculectomy under topical anesthesia with 4g/L Benoxil combined with subconjunctival anesthesia. The effects of anesthesia and intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed. RESULTS: The narcotic analgesic effect was ideal in all patients, and the surgeries were successful. No local or systemic complications appeared, which might occur during routine anesthesia. CONCLUSION: Trabeculectomy under topical anesthesia combined with subconjunctival anesthesia is a safe, reliable, effective and user-friendly anesthesia option and worth popularizing. LA: Chinese
