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.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common upper extremity peripheral neuropathy syndrome. Treatment ranges from nonsurgical methods, including night-orthosis fabrication and corticosteroid injections to surgical management via a carpal tunnel release (CTR). Carpal tunnel release alleviates nerve compression by releasing the transverse carpal ligament, and performed as either an open CTR (OCTR) or endoscopic CTR (ECTR) procedure. However, there is no consensus on the superiority of the 2 approaches.
