I have to undergo fistula surgery and I am very much scared about the procedure Meanwhile I have SVT issues , I heard they give spinal anesthesia before surgery.. Can we ask to change it to general so I can fell asleep and don't wanna see the procedure? Will they change anesthesia according to our comfort??

The anaesthesiologist will choose the safest anaesthesia plan for you, taking your medical condition into consideration. Your preference will also be taken into account. For fistula surgery, spinal anaesthesia with sedation is commonly preferred in many cases, and with sedation, you are usually comfortable and may not be aware of the procedure. However, the final choice depends on your overall condition, including your SVT, and the anaesthesiologist’s assessment.

Giving Anesthesia is like a menu card in hospital . The Anesthetist will tell you all the options availble withs its pro and cons and you have to choose accordingly. Would suggest to for spinal or epidural depending on time.

Request for spinal anesthesia and sedation where the anesthesist would give you medications for you to fall asleep after spinal anesthesia which would be better than going for general anesthesia.

Yes, you can request for general anaesthesia but it has its own risk too. Its better you have a talk with your surgeon and anaesthetist before deciding on the type of anaesthesia, they will suggest you which one is better based on your general health condition.
