Can Oral Surgery Be Done With Local Anesthesia?

Hi my father is having lump in buccal mucosa inside the right cheek. It's painless and it's since 10 years. One surgeon advised us to operate it. But while undergoing pre operation check up, anesthetic department didn't want for full anesthesia as my father is having severe breathing problem. Now please suggest me can we go for the surgery with local anesthesia. Suggest me a good surgeon who is expertize on this in Kolkata, West Bengal Area.
