There are a variety of different types of anesthesia that can be used for brain surgery. The type of anesthesia that is best for a particular patient will depend on a number of factors, including the type of procedure being performed and the overall health of the patient. In some cases, general anesthesia may be used. This type of anesthesia will put the patient to sleep during the surgery. In other cases, local anesthesia may be used. This type of anesthesia numbs the area around the incision, but does not put the patient to sleep. Ultimately, the decision about which type of anesthesia to use will be made by the surgeon and anesthesiologist based on the individual needs of the patient.
