摘要

The minimally invasive tumescent local anesthesia technique used in wide-awake hand surgery is having an impact in hand surgery practice. Patients spend less time and money and get to speak to their surgeon and receive education during the surgery itself. Improvements in operations such as flexor tendon repair have happened, because surgeons can see movement during the case and make adjustments before the skin is closed. Surgeons can perform more cases in the same amount of time with fewer personnel. The cost of the surgery is decreased, as all expenses surrounding the provision of sedation are removed.
