Knee arthroscopy.

2022-07-06 12:47:58
I'll be going through a knee arthroscopy for my ACL reconstruction soon and my question was that can I ask for a general anesthesia instead of a spinal one? I'm a faint hearted person and I have developed kind of a phobia for knee injuries after my injury and I don't think I'll be able to watch. What should I do? Please help.

Spinal is safe than ga. And in spinal also u will not be able to see surgery.u will be given some sedative to sleep so basically u will sleep out through the procedure.
