Either local in the urethra or general
General or possibly sedation and local if fiberoptic
Typically general anesthesia...breathing tube and gas. It’s possible to use a spinal, but this would be uncommon.
Could be done under spinal anesthesia, general anesthesia, or local and intravenous sedation.
