Is it common or rare to have a stroke when having surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stroke : It is extremely unlikely to have a stroke during surgery with modern anesthesia. The rate is less that 1 in 2000 general anesthesia patients. That number includes people who are at higher risks for strokes.
