Hi... I am Dr. Charles Mano Sylus, Let me help you out... Yes general anaesthesia is a risk for you and under high risk factor, we can take you up for Laparoscopic Surgery under general anaesthesia because Safe anesthetic care can be provided by thorough preoperative assessment, a thoughtful and well-executed anesthetic plan, and vigilance which extends well into the postoperative period by a smart and well experienced anasthetist
Next Steps
speak to an anasthetist in the hospital where you want to get operated for your gall bladder and discuss with the team about the surgical and anasthesia plan for you
