Introduction: Tumescent local anesthesia (TLA) is widely used for ambulatory surgery. Patients with transplanted or gans are on immunosuppressive therapy and with risk for organ rejection or severe infection.
Case Report: Saphe nectomy with phlebectomy on the left leg under TLA was performed in a patient with kidney transplantation per formed four years ago. A combination of 35 mg of 1% prilocaine-hydrochloride, 5 mL of 8.4% sodium bicarbonate and 500 microg of epinephrine in 460 mL of normal saline was used for TLA. Overall 750 mL of the solution was used. The patient had satisfactory postoperative analgesia and was discharged home on the same day. Blood levels of urea, cre atinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and ta crolimus concentration, measured preoperatively and on the second postoperative day, were in a regular range. Prilocaine blood concentrations determined on the 4th, 10th and 16th postoperative hours, were below toxic levels.
Conclusion: TLA in a kidney-transplanted patient performed for saphe nectomy with phlebectomy proved to be a safe and reliable anesthesia method.

Objective: Aim: To compare the effectiveness of tumescent anesthesia and regional anesthesia under ultrasound guidance in terms of their impact on nociceptive and stress systems, as well as systemic hemodynamics, in patients with chronic venous disease of the lower extremities, undergoing surgical treatment.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Fifty patients (average age 48 ±15 years; 19 [38 %] males and 31 [62 %] females) with chronic venous disease of the lower extremities, who underwent surgical treatment (endovenous laser ablation and miniphlebectomy on one limb), were examined. Twenty-five patients (main group) underwent surgery under femoral nerve block with 150 mg of lidocaine and sciatic nerve block (popliteal fossa) with 150 mg of lidocaine under ultrasound guidance.
Liposuction Port-Site Protection: Necessity or Needless Expense?
Aesthet Surg J Open Forum
November 2024
Background: Liposuction is the most common cosmetic plastic surgery procedure in the United States, and lipo-aspiration for fat grafting is gaining in popularity. The results are effective, but complications include seroma, contour irregularities, skin necrosis, and even death. Scarring, dehiscence, and infection at the port site, although minor, are a common and less-discussed problem.

Background: Treatment of symptomatic varicose veins has changed dramatically in the last few years with guidelines now recommending endovenous surgery as first-line intervention. Previously, this was achieved by laser or radiofrequency ablation of the target vein, requiring infiltration of tumescent anesthesia to reduce the risks of thermal damage to surrounding tissue. Endovenous cyanoacrylate injection (VenaSeal™) is a nonthermal, nontumescent endovenous closure technique, increasing patient comfort and is readily performed under local anesthesia only and thus is a feasible technique for in-room treatment.

Tranexamic acid (TXA) has the ability to reduce intraoperative bleeding and facilitate hemostasis in addition to its anti-inflammatory properties that can potentially aid in recovery among patients who underwent rhytidectomy. To compare postoperative ecchymosis in patients who underwent rhytidectomy with TXA added to the tumescent anesthetic. A multi-institutional, single-blind study was performed on patients who underwent rhytidectomy.
