A member asked:
Is it safe for 2year 1 month old to have general anesthisia. he is undergoing circumcision for which doctor recommended general anesthisia.

Yes: In the hands of a properly trained team this is a routine procedure. We prefer for kids to be free of any respiratory illness that might be aggravated by the anesthesia when they undergo elective procedures, yet in emergent situations these kids tolerate anesthesia quite well,even sick.

Get a second opinion: I would ask another urologist if they would use general anesthesia versus sedation and a local block
