Local anaesthetic is introduced directly around the area to have surgery and the site goes numb. Only relatively small areas can be numbed up like this; therefore the limb or area of the body outside of the local anaesthetic retains all its functions. There may still be movement and pressure sensations; but enough local anaesthetic can be given such that no pain is felt. This type of anaesthesia is usually supplied by the surgeon doing the surgery.
