Do i need to be put under for this surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on surgery: Surgical interventions can be done with local, regional , spinal, epidural, and general anesthetics. Most have some component of sedation/relaxation. I think by saying 'put out', you are referring to general anesthesia.
