Thread: I/O under epidural?

  1. #1

    I/O under epidural?

    Is this possible, my anesthesiologist said its an option but I dont think he discussed it with the surgeon, I also just read that I/O are done under general where as simple orchiectomy are done under either?
    Has any1 here been given the option?

    Forum member papajdub is one who had his orchiectomy without general anesthesia. See this link. As for me, I was perfectly happy to be unconscious during surgery.
