While under general anesthesia, you may receive a combination of anesthesia drugs, some given through your IV and some that you breathe. You will not be aware or feel pain while under general anesthesia. Regional anesthesia blocks pain to a specific part of your body.

After your procedure, you will be taken to the recovery area, where a nurse will monitor you as you continue to emerge from anesthesia. Do not make any important decisions for at least 24 hours after any type of anesthesia.
