Local anesthesia and tumescent anesthesia play a key role in the success of phlebology procedures. This chapter reviews key principles of these procedures. Local anesthetics have been used for decades by physicians to provide pain relief during simple surgical procedures. The utility of this is twofold: first, they provide a degree of anesthesia at the operative site that decreases or even eliminates the need for general anesthesia; second, they can provide several hours of analgesia that decreases the amount of narcotic given both intra- and postoperatively.
