A member asked:

Patient vomited five times after excision of lipoma in his forehead?

? relationship: Usually simple lipoma removals re done under local anesthesia, if this is the case reaction to general anesthesia can be ruled out. Some people can be allergic to local anesthetics, vomiting could be a side effect. For many others, any kind of minor surgical procedures can be a source of elevated concern, so simply the anxiety associated with the procedure could have caused the vomiting.
