Vishnevsky Anesthesia

Vishnevsky anesthesia

Vishnevsky anesthesia is a local anesthesia proposed by the Soviet surgeon Alexander Vasilyevich Vishnevsky (1874-1948).

The essence of the method is to introduce an anesthetic (novocaine, lidocaine) into the cellular spaces around the surgical field. This provides tissue anesthesia without general anesthesia.

Advantages of Vishnevsky anesthesia:

1. Simplicity and safety of the method.

2. Absence of complications characteristic of general anesthesia.

3. Fast recovery after surgery.

4. Ability to talk with the patient during surgery.

Vishnevsky anesthesia is widely used in outpatient surgery for operations on the extremities, in maxillofacial surgery and other areas. This method has proven its effectiveness and is still relevant today.
