A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hysteroscopy is a fairly simple gyn procedure that can be done in a variety of ways. The type of anesthetic will depend on the complexity of the specific surgery you are having. Your health and airway are also factors. The anethesiologist and surgeons preferences will also need to be considered. Your surgeon can help you navigate the process and prepare a surgical plan.
