Sydney, Feb 17 : Australian doctors have pioneered a new technique through which all major operations like amputations and surgery in obese patients can be performed without using general anaesthesia.
The new technique helps anaesthetists to numb body parts with pinpoint precision by using ultrasound machines to locate nerves.
The ultrasound allows the anaesthetists to use a "regional" injection for surgery of the limbs, hands and feet by targeting the exact position of the nerve.
