| description | Summary:. We successfully performed minimally painful injection of tumescent local anesthesia to eliminate the need for the tourniquet and sedation for a below-knee amputation in a frail patient with multiple medical comorbidities in Mombasa, Kenya. Minimal pain injection of WALANT (wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet) pure local anesthesia can be a good alternative for lower limb amputation in frail patients when safe sedation services are unavailable or unaffordable in many countries. |
