Local Anaesthetic vs General Anaesthetic
« on: April 22, 2019, 06:40:25 AM »
Hey guys,

I am planning to have my surgery with Dr. Giotikas in Sept/Oct of this year. I have had a consult with him and he has indicated that local anaesthetic is an option for this surgery. The reason I would prefer local is that 5 years ago I underwent treatment for testicular cancer and one of the chemo drugs can interact strangely with general anaesthetic even years later so local would be a much safer option.

Did any of you guys undergo the surgery with local (spinal etc) and what are your thoughts about general vs local for this type of surgery?
