Abstract
|
|
|
|
Wide-awake surgery is a surgical procedure which is not used a tourniquet and any sedation by using the function of lidocaine and epinephrine through the tumescent injection technique. The biggest advantages of wide-awake surgery are the prevention of the systemic risk of general anesthesia and the surgeon can confirm the result of surgery by moving the patient’s joint and tendon during the operation. But some modification of wide-awake surgery may be beneficial for the surgeon and patient. For decreasing the patient anxiety, low-grade sedative can be used and short-time use of tourniquet during initial dissection of the operating site can prevent the unexpected complication.
