Torus anesthesia (lat. Torus - shaft, elevation) is a type of anesthesia that is used for pain relief during operations on the skull and face. This is a type of general anesthesia in which the patient is unconscious and does not feel pain during the operation.
Torusal anesthesia was developed in the 1950s by the German physician Otto Weisbrem, who proposed the use of a combination of drugs for pain relief. Today this method is widely used in medicine and surgery.
Torusal anesthesia uses a combination of drugs that block the transmission of nerve impulses in the spinal cord. This allows the patient to remain unconscious, but still maintain breathing and heart rate.
One of the main advantages of torusal anesthesia is its safety. It does not cause serious side effects and does not affect the functioning of internal organs. In addition, torusal anesthesia allows operations on the skull and face without the risk of damage to the patient’s brain and other organs.
However, like any other type of anesthesia, torus may have some risks. For example, it can cause an allergic reaction to medications used for pain relief, or cause problems with breathing or heart rhythm.
In general, torusal anesthesia is an effective and safe method of pain relief for operations on the head and face. It allows such operations to be performed without risk to the patient’s life and ensures a comfortable state for him during the procedure.
