Probably no: The anesthesiologist on your case is the best person to answer your question, however I doubt very much it can be done the way you mentioned, anaesthia medicines are so varied now-a-day and more safe, ask the experts, wish you well and good luck

Anesthesia: General anesthesia is preferred if there can be more challenging needs during surgery and patient will be immobile. Discuss it with your surgeon again if you have concerns. Good luck.
