I/O under epidural?

09-22-06, 08:10 AM

Is this possible, my anesthesiologist said its an option but I dont think he discussed it with the surgeon, I also just read that I/O are done under general where as simple orchiectomy are done under either?
Has any1 here been given the option?

Aged 23 ;; 09/06 left I/O ;; Markers normal ;; 100% Seminoma Stage 1. ;; 10x8x16mm & 7x7x8mm ;; rete testis invasion. ;; no vascular invasion. ;; surveillance. ;; HRT.

Forum member papajdub is one who had his orchiectomy without general anesthesia. See this link. As for me, I was perfectly happy to be unconscious during surgery.
