Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Tumescent anaesthesia in combination with femoral nerve block for surgery of varicose veins: prilocaine 0.1% versus 0.2%.
Results of a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study about tumescent anaesthesia (TA) in combination with femoral nerve block (FNB) for surgery of varicose veins are reported. The aim is to compare two different concentrations of prilocaine in TA. ⋯ TA with prilocaine 0.1% in combination with FNB is sufficient to provide high patient satisfaction during varicosis surgery.
