Abstract

[Indexed for MEDLINE] 19. Clin Plast Surg. 2013 Oct;40(4):567-81. doi: 10.1016/j.cps.2013.08.004. Hand surgery using local anesthesia. Wong KH(1), Huq NS, Nakhooda A. Author information: (1)Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Most hand traumas and elective surgical disorders of the hand can be treated quickly, easily, inexpensively, and effectively in an outpatient clinic. Although many surgeons prefer general anesthesia, the senior author routinely uses local anesthesia without sedation almost exclusively for carpal and cubital tunnel release, fasciectomy, arthrodesis, arthroplasty, synovectomy, and trauma, including the repair of tendons, nerves, ligaments, fractures, and soft tissue defects. After completing more than 10,000 procedures, the authors have found great benefits through the use of local anesthesia, which are detailed in the article. Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
