Wide Awake Surgery — No General Anaesthesia
Most hand surgery procedures performed by Dr. Chambers use WALANT (Wide Awake Local Anaesthesia No Tourniquet) — local anaesthetic only, no fasting, no IV sedation, home the same day. For Apex professionals, this means carpal tunnel release or trigger finger surgery with a return to desk work in 1–3 days, without the recovery burden of general anaesthesia.
