Local Anaesthesia
Local anaesthetic is injected directly into or around the area being operated on, causing that area to go numb. It is commonly used for minor procedures such as skin lesion removal, and in dentistry. Either your surgeon or anaesthetist may administer local anaesthetic. You may be wide awake, or sedatives given to make you sleepy and relaxed.
