Removal of the plate can be done with general anesthesia or local anesthesia. The choice is made on the advice of the physician and varies according to the patient’s tolerance for pain. Patients who are more sensitive to pain are usually under general anesthesia; for patients who are less sensitive to pain, local anesthesia is used. Because the cost of general anesthesia or local anesthesia varies, there is also a significant difference in the patient’s tolerance level. The choice of anesthesia differs depending on the site where the plate is removed. Therefore, the patient’s state should be evaluated before anesthesia, whether he or she can tolerate local anesthesia, and if he or she can tolerate it, local anesthesia is used, and general anesthesia is used if he or she cannot tolerate it.
