Tumescent local anesthesia (TLA) is a technique for regional anesthesia of the skin and the subcutaneous fatty tissue by means of direct infiltration of large volumes of a dilute local anesthetic. “Tumescent” derives from the Latin tumescere, meaning “to swell,” and in this context refers to the swelling of the anesthetized skin after subcutaneous infiltration of the TLA solution.
