A member asked:

Am i going to be unconscious for my upcoming biopsy on my swollen neck? if not, how long to they take?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: If it is biopsy of a lymph node, that could be done under local anesthesia and may take only minutes. If it is for a mass deeper in the neck, then you may be put under general anesthesia. Please note that these procedures are quite safe. You should discuss your concern with your doctor.
