What type of anaesthetic will I have? Should I use a general or local anesthetic?
A general anasthetic means you will be unconscious during the surgery and should have no recollection aside from going to sleep and waking up. A local anasthetic allow you to remain conscious. Typically we use a spinal anesthetic which blocks all pain in the area while leaving the patient conscious. This is a personal choice and can be discussed with the anesthesiologist.
