Zusammenfassung:Surgical procedures commonly associated with parenteral sedation or general anesthesia were completed in an office operating room with local anesthesia and oral medication. Diazepam and alprazolam were used in combination to produce a relaxed state, allowing local anesthesia to be instilled.
