Abstract
Conclusion The ideal type of anesthesia for anorectal surgery is still being sought. However, the method I have described has merit for the following reasons: it is easy to administer; the patient experiences less anxiety because he is not awake during surgery; there is low toxicity; there is an apparent absence of infection; the patient can be maintained at a lighter plane of anesthesia; less general anesthesia is used; there is seldom a need for intubation; there is less postoperative pain. The lessened degree of distress during the immediate postoperative period alone seems to justify the use of lidocaine infiltration as an adjunct to general anesthesia in anorectal surgery.
