A i-anesthesia yendawo isiza ukuba ndikindiki indawo ethile yomzimba ukuze ukuhlinzwa, ukwelashwa noma inqubo yokwelapha yenziwe ngaphandle kokubangela ubuhlungu. Isimiso siwukuba ukuvimba okwesikhashana ukuqhutshwa kwezinzwa endaweni ethile, ukuze uvimbele ukuzwa okubuhlungu.

I-anesthesia yendawo isetshenziselwa ukuhlinzwa okusheshayo noma okuncane okungadingi i-anesthesia ejwayelekile noma yesifunda.

Ngakho-ke, udokotela usebenzisa i-anesthesia yendawo kulezi zimo ezilandelayo:

• ukunakekelwa kwamazinyo
• okwemithungo
• ama-biopsies athile noma ukukhishwa okuncane kokuhlinzwa (ama-cyst, izinqubo ezilula zesikhumba, njll.)
• ukusebenza kwe-podiatry
• ukuze kufakwe izinto ezisetshenziswa emthanjeni (njengama-catheter) noma ngaphambi komjovo
• noma ukuhlola isinye kusetshenziswa ishubhu elifakwe ku-urethra (cystoscopy)

Kunezindlela ezimbili zokwenza i-anesthesia yendawo:

• by kokuziphatha : abasebenzi bezokwelapha bajova nge-intradermally noma ngaphansi kwe-anesthetic yendawo (ikakhulukazi i-lidocaine, i-procaine noma i-teÌ ?? tracaine) endaweni ethile yomzimba okufanele ibe ndikindiki.
• okuphezulu (phezu): abasebenzi bezokwelapha bafaka ngqo esikhunjeni noma kulwelwesi lwamafinyila uketshezi, ijeli noma isifutho esiqukethe isibulali-zinzwa sasendaweni

Indawo eqondile eqondiswe yi-anesthesia iyindikimba, isiguli asizwa ubuhlungu. Udokotela angenza inqubo encane noma anikeze ukwelashwa ngaphandle kokuphatheka kabi esigulini.
