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.
