In the BRAVO study, almost all surgery was done under general anesthesia. Only one of 179 cases was done with local anesthetic. However, there are some surgeons who perform the surgery with local anesthetic and sedation on a routine basis. Check with your surgeon about the anesthetic technique that is routinely used in the center where you will have surgery.
