Nose polyp surgery can choose local anesthesia and general anesthesia, in the local anesthesia surgery process may have a slight pain, in the general anesthesia process is no pain.
1. Local anesthesia: If for the degree of nasal polyps is not serious, sinus inflammation is not serious, you can choose to operate under local anesthesia. Local anesthesia surgery is generally used as an anesthetic drug bupivacaine, lidocaine. After the anesthesia takes effect, there is generally not much pain, some deeper parts may have a slight pain, but it can be tolerated.
2. General anesthesia: For more serious cases of nasal polyps and sinusitis, general anesthesia is needed. When the patient is under general anesthesia, he/she will not feel anything, so there will be no pain. After the surgery, the anesthesia effect disappears, and the patient’s surgical site will have a slight pain, which is a normal phenomenon.
If you are suffering from nasal polyps, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for standardized treatment.
