WALANT Special Issue

Wide-awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) is a surgical technique that relies on local anesthetic and hemostatic agents to provide conditions suitable for hand surgery without sedation and tourniquet. In this special issue led by Guest Editor Dr. Shalimar Abdullah of the National University of Malaysia, readers can get the most current updates and progress of WALANT surgery. As more surgeons utilize WALANT, more papers have been published allowing readers to judge for themselves on its effectiveness, usefulness and economic viability. In the post-t COVID-19 pandemic period, WALANT could offer an alternative option avoiding general anaesthesia and intubation.

Wide-awake local anesthesia with no tourniquet has dramatically changed hand surgery practice. Using lidocaine with epinephrine and no tourniquet has allowed many procedures to be moved from the main operating room to an in-office procedure room. Previous studies have shown that using local anesthesia is safe and cost effective, with high patient satisfaction. This study evaluated patient satisfaction and complications for the first 1,011 elective hand surgeries performed using wide-awake anesthesia in an in-office procedure room.
