Local anesthesia
is any technique to induce the absence of sensation in a specific part of the body, generally for the aim of inducing
local analgesia
, that is, local insensitivity to pain, although other local senses may be affected as well. It allows patients to undergo
surgical
and
dental
procedures with reduced pain and distress. In many situations, such as cesarean section, it is safer and therefore superior to general
anesthesia
. It is also used for relief of
non-surgical pain
and to enable diagnosis of the cause of some
chronic pain
conditions.
Anesthetists
sometimes combine both general and
local anesthesia
techniques.
