Ureteroscopy and general anesthetic.

[soulboy118]

After a consultation with anesthesiologist last week and a telephone conversation with my urologist today a general anesthetic has been ruled out . A spinal anesthetic has been agreed on as it was decided the risks associated with general anesthetic causing harm for a moderate operation was too great , I cant say I'm sorry this decision has been made.

This is just an update that was asked for .

I'm still getting pain and other uncomfortable symptoms and will not be operated on until it is safe to do so ( cv19) withstanding .

Thank you for the update. Pete has had spinals for his prostate and back operations and he was fine.

Wishing you well. Xxx😘

Thanks sassy , any operation is not something we welcome and can be daunting, ( especially general anesthetics for us copd sufferers) thankfully pete came through his operation ok and it is some comfort knowing that , wish him well

Take care x

No not great but sometimes essential. You will get through it, and thank you for the good wishes for Pete.

Stay safe and take care xxxx😘

I have had this done twice for two different Procedures, awake through them both, never felt anything. Last one was a Hip Replacement,( 9 Years ago) had to, as I was having Lung problems before I was diagnosed with COPD. Best of Luck Dave, They know what there doing. XXX . C.

My son had an operation with epidural as he was unable to have a general anaesthetic... Brilliant, no problem at all... Hope all goes well xx

[Ergendl]

Good luck for your operation when it is finally scheduled, and wishing you the endurance needed before then to wait for that time.

[soulboy118 in reply to Ergendl]

Thanks ergendl, fingers crossed this stone ( but it certainly is not my interpretation of a stone all smooth and no rough edges , this stone I have feels like a porcupine ) will stay put until the operation, the uncomfortoubleness I can cope with but that pain is frankly horrendous when it starts

[Caspiana]

After sixteen hours of labour with my first daughter the doctor decided enough was enough and I was given an epidural. It was the most wonderful thing that ever happened during the whole horrid affair. 😅 I hope your operation goes well soulboy118 . Please do let us know how it goes. Take good care.

Cas xx 🍀

Relief from pain is a wonderful thing, I hope I have made no one feel wonderful 🤣
