Thanks for your answer. And how will be the anesthesia? Will it be partial or complete?
Brief Answer:
Sedation,short GA and local anaesthesia suffices
Detailed Answer:
Hello
You are welcome
These minimally invasive procedure are performed under sedation,short GA (general anaesthesia) and local anaesthesia or you may call it partial anaesthesia.The anesthetic will allow the patient to be comfortable during the procedure but will leave enough feeling in the nerves so the patient can actually tell when the nerve is being stimulated.
Hope this helps.
