Some can be done with local anesthesia alone, while others would not be physiologically possible without anesthesia general intervention ... all others fall somewhere along the spectrum of sedation/anesthesia with varying degrees of comfort, efficacy, and access for the surgeon.
Yes. You need anesthesia.
