What are the most common side effects of anesthesia?
Postoperative nausea and vomiting are common side effects and can also be related to certain types of surgical procedures, including tonsillectomy, eye surgery and laparoscopic surgery. Patients who are intubated (have a breathing tube placed for surgery) frequently have a sore throat or hoarse voice for one to two days after surgery. Other possible side effects will be discussed by the anesthesiologist.
