For bladder surgery, general anesthesia is commonly used to ensure the patient is completely unconscious and pain-free during the procedure. In some cases, regional anesthesia, such as spinal or epidural anesthesia, may be employed to numb the lower body while the patient remains awake or sedated. The choice of anesthesia often depends on the specific procedure, the patient's health, and the surgeon's preference.
The four stages of anesthesia are induction, maintenance, surgical anesthesia, and recovery. Induction is when anesthesia is administered to achieve unconsciousness. Maintenance involves regulating the level of anesthesia throughout the procedure. Surgical anesthesia is the stage where the patient is most effectively unconscious and immobile. Recovery is the stage where the patient begins to wake up and regain consciousness.
It may be done under local or general anesthesia, depending on patient and physician preference
