ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

The Wide-Awake-Local-Anesthesia-No-Tourniquet (WALANT) technique is being used progressively more and more in hand surgery as it avoids tourniquet-related complications and saves money. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

In the present study, we analyzed our cases of carpal tunnel syndrome or trigger finger operated upon with this technique from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022.

RESULTS:

We obtained 822 cases (426 carpal tunnel syndrome, 396 trigger finger) with an overall anesthesiologic efficacy (no need of additional anesthetic) of 97.8%. Patients were satisfied or very satisfied with the anesthetic choice in 99.8% of cases.

CONCLUSIONS:

We believe WALANT to be a safe and effective technique that every hand surgeon should have in his/her repertoire.
