What is another word for Local Anaesthesia?
Pronunciation: [lˈə͡ʊkə͡l ˌanəsθˈiːzi͡ə] (IPA) 
Local anaesthesia is a medical procedure that numbs a specific area of the body to allow for painless surgery or other medical interventions. There are several synonyms for local anaesthesia, including regional anaesthesia, topical anaesthesia, and surface anaesthesia. Regional anaesthesia refers to the numbing of a larger area, such as an entire limb or section of the body. Topical anaesthesia is a more superficial numbing, typically used for minor procedures like removing a mole or wart. Surface anaesthesia is similar to topical anaesthesia, but specifically refers to numbing the skin's surface for procedures like injections or minor biopsies. Regardless of the term used, local anaesthesia provides a valuable tool in modern medicine for pain management during surgical procedures.
