General Anaesthesia

General anaesthesia is a medically-induced, controlled state of unconsciousness. Under general anaesthesia, medications are used to render you asleep, so that you remain unaware of the procedure, do not experience pain, and stay still throughout the surgery.

Regional Anaesthesia

Regional anaesthesia uses local anaesthetic to numb a large portion of the body so you remain conscious throughout the procedure. It allows surgery to be performed without the need for general anaesthesia, while still preventing pain and sensation in the treated area.
