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 no-tourniquet (WALANT) surgery is an attractive option for hand surgeons, particularly during resource-scarce periods, as it eliminates dependence on main operating rooms or hospital-based procedures. The limited prepping or draping used for WALANT field sterility is as effective, if not more effective, than standard sterile prepping or draping. Patient anxiety surrounding WALANT surgery is similar to or less than that of general or local anesthesia with or without tourniquet.
