Hello,

You are asking the question “Is general anesthesia available for a bone biopsy?” This depends on the procedure type. These collections can be done with a needle/core using local anesthesia. If a more invasive approach is needed general anesthesia can be used. You need to ask this question of your doctor and ask for options.

Good luck.
Yes, if required.
