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.

we'll remove the bladder catheter, and you'll be able to get up and walk. Generally, the pain is minimal. Most patients are surprised because they expected something worse. When we remove the catheter, we usually put a little fluid into the bladder beforehand so that as soon as the catheter's out, you can try to urinate.
We ask you to urinate, we check the amount, you tell us how it went, and if all is well, you can go home that same day, eh? Usually, it's a one-night stay.
