I'm going to have a knee arthroscopy: should i go for local or general anaesthesia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Either works fine --: Talk it over with your surgeon and the anesthetist to determine what will be good for you, from their perspective. A good discussion will go a long way to allay your anxiety about it and the surgery. Good luck ; happy holidays.
