Local anesthetic knee arthroscopy offers a safe and effective same-day surgical option. This minimally invasive procedure demonstrates high patient satisfaction and good operating conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Knee arthroscopy is a common orthopedic procedure.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are preferred for patient comfort and faster recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of knee arthroscopy performed as day cases under local anesthesia.
  • To assess operating conditions and patient acceptability of this anesthetic technique.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of sixty patients underwent knee arthroscopy.
  • The procedure was performed using a local anesthetic technique.
  • Patients were treated as day cases, discharged on the same day.

Main Results:

  • The local anesthetic technique provided satisfactory operating conditions for the surgeons.
