Hypothesis-generating for local anesthesia in anorectal surgery; does not yet support practice change without controlled trials.
Guy L. Kratzer (1959) conducted an observational in anorectal surgery (n=1,400). local anesthesia was evaluated on relaxation and hemostasis. Local anesthesia in anorectal surgery provided adequate relaxation and hemostasis in 100% of 1,400 cases, with transient hypertension as the only notable side effect in 20% of patients.
