I want to be put under a general anaestetic for ingrown toenail removal iv being under befor for it so will they do it again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgeons choice: General anesthesia has much greater risks involved than local injections in an office setting. If you are very anxious IV sedation is another possibility. Totally up to the anesthesiologist and your surgeon.
