Wide Awake Hand Surgery

Wide Awake Hand Surgery (WAHS) is hand surgery performed purely under local anaesthesia with no tourniquet, no sedation, no general anaesthesia and no regional anaesthesia.  WAHS can enable patient-centricity and accelerated rehabilitation.  It is very suitable for conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, ulnar tunnel syndrome, ganglia, mucoid cysts, De Quervain's tenosynovitis, Tennis Elbow and not least Dupuytren's contracture.
