Patients appreciate “wide-awake hand surgery,” a surgical approach utilizing local anesthetic without a tourniquet. Patients are not required to fast the night before surgery or change their medication schedules; they do not generally experience nausea, vomiting, or other unwanted side effects associated with general anesthesia, and they spend less time at the surgery center because the post-operative recovery time is shorter.
