A member asked:
Can an open appendectomy be done with regional anesthesia? are there options in texas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mighty hard to do: something in the center of the body with regional. Texas is one of the most sophisticated medical areas in the entire world, and they have an integrated medical system so one place would have the knowledge of what is available everywhere else. So, basically consulting with a surgeon in Texas would give the definitive answer.
