Both general and regional anesthesia are inherently safe for knee arthroscopy. One or the other may be preferable for you depending on your general health and the specifics of your medical history. This is usually determined by your anesthesiologist. I know of no study that documents the frequency of one anesthesia technique over another for simple knee arthroscopy.
Hi,
Spermatocelectomy is typically performed on an outpatient basis, with either regional or general anesthesia via a transscrotal approach. There is the risks of infertility, as well as the more common complications of hematoma, infection, swelling, recurrence, and pain. Postoperatively, scrotal support and ice packs to the dressing is commonly used. Oral analgesics is needed for adequate postoperative pain relief.
Does anyone know what to take for an alternative to Aggrenox? I had a TIA almost 4 years ago and was put on Aggrenox, well, my husband will be losing his job in a week due to the economy which also means we will be losing our health insurance as well. I asked my doctor if he could take me off it and put me on something else and all he said was he would prefer I stayed on Aggrenox. I don't think we can afford it because it is $305 for a month supply!
Local anesthesia may be used by your health care provider during delivery to numb a painful area in or around the vagina if stitches are needed. Local medications do not reduce discomfort during labor.
Regional anesthesia (also called an epidural or spinal anesthesia) is administered by an anesthesiologist (a doctor who delivers pain medicine) during labor to reduce discomfort.
Aggrenox does have aspirin in it. It is recommended for strokes, as you already know. I'm not sure why the Dr has taken away the Aggrenox. Maybe he feels that taking aspirin is equivalent with less side effects? Aspirin does work well to help prevent stokes and heart attacks. So, there was no reason given for the change?
Anesthesia could be regional or general. Regional anesthesia can be applied to the forefoot and local anesthesia can be used for a minor bone spur removal. a sedative relaxes the individual and a tourniquet may be applied to ankle and foot to reduce blood flow and a clear work field. Bone spurs on the foot are removed via an open procedure by cutting into the foot, taking care to avoid damage to tendons and nerves.
This procedure can be done with local, regional, or general anesthesia. Local anesthesia requires injections of numbing medicine into the tissue surrounding your cervix, inside your vagina. You remain awake through the procedure and may feel some cramping in your pelvis.
Regional anesthesia for hysteroscopy is done with either a spinal block or epidural block. For this type of anesthesia, a drug is injected through a needle or tube in your lower back by an anesthesiologist.
I was put on Aggrenox/Aspirin after my stroke about 2 months ago. Does anyone on the same treatment take any kind of Vitamins/Herbs with this medication?
Hello,I would like to find out if it is possible to have surgery to remove a 4cm dermoid cyst from the ovary,under epidural/spinal or regional anaesthesia instead of general.If not possible could you please tell me why?
If it involves the regional kind (this means anesthesia will be delivered through the spine at the lower back), some patients become anxious when they regain consciousness and realize that they can't move their legs- this is part of coming out of the anesthesia - not everything returns at the same time.
My mother died at age 49 a week and half before her 50th birthday on September 1,1985 when I was 20 from a rare aggressive type of endometrial cancer stage 4 in just 4 months after being diagnosed,although she put off going and getting checked out by the doctor for many months after she was feeling weak and sick already.

Anesthesia of this nerve causing drooping of the eye so it seems likely that this is what happened. Explain to them the next time you go in that this happened and they can adjust the administration so as to avoid this again (although it really wouldn't cause any harm)!
That can be done under general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or heavy IV sedation. You will need some tissue for biopsy, but no need to be tortured to obtain it. That's why we have anesthesia!
The other thing to consider, is what to do to prevent the thickening from coming back afterwards--for many people, taking progesterone for 14 days every three months works very nicely--and then follow the lining size with ultrasound.
WHile they can be treated with a cast, the treatment course is prolonged, and the risk of rerupture is high. Surgery is often done with regional anesthesia, rather than general, and is done as an outpatient. Recovery is very predictable, and the success rate is very high.
Partial tears, can be treated non surgically. Treatment options include immobilization, and a course of physical therapy. Recent success has been reported with the use of platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections.
