It depends on the reason for the ear surgery and the location. The surgery could be in the external, middle, or inner ear. For surgery in the middle or inner ear… general anesthesia is your safest and only option. For the external ear, depending on the pathology… it could be done under moderate to deep sedation with local anesthesia if possible.
It depends on the type of ear surgery you are having.
Most middle ear surgery are done under general anesthesia.
