Do they use general anesthesia for cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends : Excision of a cyst it can be done with many different anesthetics. The type of the anesthetic depends on patient's preference, surgeon's preference and anesthesia needed for the the cyst. Unless you are more specific, a clear answer is not possible. For example, a 1 cm cyst requires different anesthesia than a 10 cm cyst.
