No cuts, no wounds: how we get in

Anaesthesia is an individual choice
Spinal anaesthesia may offer benefits such as less nausea, vomiting or drowsiness. This does not mean it always has fewer risks or guarantees a faster recovery than general anaesthesia.
The choice depends on the operation and the patient’s health. The anaesthetist assesses benefits, risks and preferences; general anaesthesia may be needed in some cases.
