WALANT stands for Wide Awake Local Anaesthesia No Tourniquet. It is an advanced surgical technique that allows doctors to perform procedures on the hand, wrist, or fingers without putting the patient to sleep. 



There is no need for general anaesthesia, no fasting, no hospital admission, and no tourniquet used during the operation. You stay awake, feel no pain, and can go home soon after the surgery.



Compared to traditional surgery, WALANT is safer for patients with medical conditions like diabetes or heart problems, and recovery is often faster. It reduces the risks linked to general anaesthesia and allows your surgeon to check finger or hand movement immediately during surgery.



Dr Ram Kumar Rao is one of the few orthopedic surgeons offering WALANT surgery for hand fractures, trigger finger, tendon injuries, and other soft tissue procedures. 



If you are looking for a safer, faster, and more comfortable way to treat hand conditions, WALANT may be the right option for you.
