A member asked:
What is chance of death from general anesthesia if just having cystoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extremely rare: General anesthesia is generally very safe especially for a short procedure lasting less than one hour. Ask you doctor if this procedure can be done with local or regional(spinal) anesthesia?
