A member asked:
Could you still be conscious while there kidney's are being remove?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: The kind of procedure necessary to remove a kidney usually requires the patient to unconscious (intubated and under general anesthesia). Local nerve block is usually not the way a nephrectomy is performed.
