Is a C-section done with general anesthesia?
The greatest majority of C/S's are done under neuraxial anesthesia, either spinal, epidural, or combined spinal/epidural anesthesia. Less than 1% of C/S's are done under general anesthesia, usually reserved either for emergencies (not enough time for neuraxial technique) or if neuraxial is contraindicated (coagulopathy, systemic infection). Hope this answers your question. READ MORE
Do they put you to sleep for retinal detachment surgery?
No, usually it is done with a peribulbar block, which means using local anesthesia to "numb up" the area around the eye. I hope this answers your question. READ MORE
