A member asked:

Can a person(female, 26) suffering from hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy be given general anesthesia for the treatment of diaphragmatic hernia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: The severity of the neuropathy and the specific type of anesthetic are both important factors. This condition needs collaboration between your neurologistr and anesthesiologist ( not anesthetist).
