I am having a vaginal hysterectomy July 16th. I was wondering if they give you a spinal block?
Will I be asleep during the actual surgery? Just wondering because i read where someone else said they were awake during the procedure.. thanks for any info..
Answers:
you can choose your form of anesthesia, just talk to the surgeon or the anesthesiologist the night before the surgery.
dont get it done period
It depends on you. If you want to be asleep, an anesthesiologist will gladly give you systemic anesthesia. Whatever you want.
I don't think so. You wouldn't have adequate pain relief and they probably need to relax your muscles so the surgeons don't have to fight to keep the incision open, so you wouldn't be able to breath adequately.
There should be no reason why you won't be "out" during your surgery. And, there's no reason for you to have a spinal block when you are going to be "asleep."
I sure hope you discuss this, and any other questions you have about your upcoming surgery, with your doctor!
It depends on your doctor.
