Regional & Local Anesthesia – Targeted Anesthesia Techniques Like Spinal, Epidural, or Nerve Blocks for Specific Areas

At Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, our Anesthesiology Department offers regional and local anesthesia to provide pain relief for specific parts of the body during surgical procedures. These techniques allow patients to remain awake or lightly sedated while ensuring effective pain control, faster recovery, and minimal systemic side effects compared to general anesthesia.

Problems / Concerns Addressed:

• Surgical Pain in Specific Areas: Controlling pain for procedures on the limbs, abdomen, or pelvic region.
• Minimizing Risks of General Anesthesia: Safer for patients with heart, lung, or metabolic issues.
• Postoperative Pain: Providing extended pain relief even after surgery.
• Faster Recovery: Avoiding grogginess and prolonged hospitalization associated with general anesthesia.
• Patient Comfort & Safety: Targeted anesthesia reduces overall medication exposure and complications.

Treatments / Services Offered:

• Spinal Anesthesia: Numbing the lower half of the body for procedures such as cesarean sections or lower limb surgeries.
• Epidural Anesthesia: Continuous pain relief during surgery or labor using a catheter for controlled medication delivery.
• Peripheral Nerve Blocks: Anesthesia for specific limbs, commonly used in orthopedic surgeries.
• Local Infiltration: Injection of anesthetic directly at the surgical site for minor procedures.
• Combination with Sedation: Light sedation to reduce anxiety while maintaining consciousness.
