Yes. There are several risks involved with general anesthesia, including death.

Of the most feared reactions to general anesthesia is malignant hyperthermia, in which the patient's temperature rises - frequently to above 106 degrees Fahrenheit - and carrying a high mortality. Your anesthesiologist should discuss this with you prior to your surgery at your pre-operative visit.
