The use of lidocaine infiltration anesthesia as an adjunct to general anesthesia in anorectal surgery

摘要

ConclusionThe ideal type of anesthesia for anorectal surgery is still being sought. However, the method I have described has merit for the following reasonscolon; it is easy to administersemi; the patient experiences less anxiety because he is not awake during surgerysemi; there is low toxicitysemi; there is an apparent absence of infectionsemi; the patient can be maintained at a lighter plane of anesthesiasemi; less general anesthesia is usedsemi; there is seldom a need for intubationsemi; there is less postoperative pain. The lessened degree of distress during the immediate postoperative period alone seems to justify the use of lidocaine infiltration as an adjunct to general anesthesia in anorectal surgery.
