    WALENT surgery stands for wide awake, local anaesthetic procedures with no tourniquet. YES Dr Nimon has been undertaking this for over 20 years in the form of carpal tunnel and trigger finger releases. It has the advantage of being safe, as well as cheaper for the self funded patient. 90% of carpal tunnel procedures are performed this way by Dr Nimon, but he also offers a procedure under sedation for those patients who do not wish to be awake.
