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.

We investigated the clinical outcomes of flexor tendon reconstruction for chronic rupture of the flexor tendon based on an evaluation of the voluntary active contraction distance (ACD) of the ruptured musculotendinous unit and changes in intraoperative total active motion (TAM) that could only be observed during wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) surgery.
