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?

Dr Saghafi and 3 doctors agreed
