EVLT, phlebectomy under general anesthesia?

March 11, 2023
Asked By:Luminous343978 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania

Why would the surgeon have me be put under general anesthesia for this procedure. I keep reading how its normally done under local anesthetic? Is there a preference to which one is better? I know general anesthesia is riskier. This is also being done at a surgery center! There is no other option.
