Organizing a surgical procedure is often a challenge for everyone involved and represents a daily test of personal skills and resilience. This strain can be reduced by applying agreed-upon standards. For smooth execution and optimal surgical outcomes, the collaboration of a well-trained surgical team is essential. Each team member should be aware of their role and contribute to process optimization and workflow to the best of their knowledge and ability. Only in this way can gentle and effective treatment be ensured for the patient during local anesthesia, as the actions of the staff are perceived and any uncertainty or unprofessional communication may lead to anxiety.
