Tumeszenz-Lokalan�sthesie bei proktologischen Eingriffen

Abstract

Our pilot study demonstrates that slow infusion tumescent local anesthesia can be widely and safely applied in proctologic surgery and enables the performance of these procedures on an outpatient basis.

Comparison of spinal versus caudal epidural anesthesia in the management of patients undergoing ambulatory perianal surgery: Randomized, prospective study

“…General anesthesia has been reported to prolong hospital stay and patient discharge as a consequence of postoperative nausea and vomiting and postoperative pain compared to local and regional anesthesia [8,9]. On the other hand, perianal surgery with local anesthetic infiltration requires concomitant sedation which can reduce patient comfort [10][11][12]. Regional anesthetic techniques might be unique for use in perianal surgery since spontaneous breathing is prevented, preventative reflexes remained active, and subjects are often mobilized in early postoperative period.…”
