Comparison of bupivacaine injection vs. mini-tenotomy for small angle deviations
3 June 2024
| Fiona Rowe (Prof)
|
Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
Bupivacaine hydrochloride is an aminoacyltype local anaesthetic. Injection into extraocular muscles elicits a myotoxic response destroying striated muscle fibres but sparing satellite cells, nerves and vessels. Preserved satellite cells proliferate to form new muscle fibres, causing muscle hypertrophy and greater...
