LOCAL ANESTHESIA
It is the procedure by which only the area where the surgical procedure is performed is numbed, without altering the level of consciousness.
There are several forms of local anesthesia. It is usually administered by an injection, practically painless, for hand and foot surgeries, biopsies, epicondylitis, ganglions, etc. .
REGIONAL ANESTHESIA
It consists of the application of anesthetic drugs that block groups of nerves or an area of the spinal cord, with the aim of canceling the pain in a specific part of the body (both legs, lower abdominal area, a forearm, etc).
A good example is shoulder surgery in which the brachial plexus infiltrates the cervical region to fully anesthetize the upper extremity. This technique is performed under ultrasound and conscious sedation of the patient.

Another type of regional anesthesia in spinal anesthesia, in its two variants, intradural or spinal and epidural, allowing us to anesthetize larger areas of the body as the entire lower hemibody.
We use it in surgeries of the lower extremity, hip or knee prosthesis.[/showhide]
GENERAL ANESTHESIA
Get a state of total unconsciousness, using a combination of intravenous drugs and anesthetic gases, which produce a blockage of all manifestations of pain and muscle relaxation.
Our most common daily practice is the use of combined techniques, such as ultrasound-guided interscalene block plus general anesthesia for shoulder surgeries or blockade of the inner saphenous nerve in the adductor canal and general anesthesia for knee ligament surgery.
