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.
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?
