Sublingual gland cyst surgery can be performed under local anesthesia if the size of the cyst is small and the patient can tolerate it well, or under general anesthesia if the size of the cyst is large and the surgery is difficult. 1. Sublingual gland cyst surgery can be performed under either local anesthesia or general anesthesia. Because of the special location of the sublingual gland, the operation space and field of vision are small during the surgery of sublingual gland cyst, and the patient is required to keep the open-mouth posture during the surgery, the local anesthesia requires the patient’s tolerance ability to be large. 2. If the diameter and invasion range of the sublingual gland cyst are small, and the patient’s tolerance ability is strong, and the patient can tolerate the fear during the operation and keep the open-mouth posture during the operation, local anesthesia can be chosen. If the diameter and invasion range of the cyst is large and the operation range is limited, general anesthesia should be chosen. The choice of anesthesia for sublingual gland cyst surgery is based on the size of the cyst, the patient’s tolerance level, and other factors, and the patient should follow the doctor’s instructions to complete the preoperative preparation.
