hi
My DS needs a small op to close a hole in his groin that the testes drop through but never sealed so as a result he has one teste that fills with fluid & possibly a small hernia. The operation is day surgery & only takes around 30 mins but they do it under general. Can anyone tell me what the general entails? Are you allowed to stay with them till they go to sleep - is it done by injection/mask...sorry not got a clue (know I can ask at pre op appointment but don't want to worry my son.) If I know what to expect I can be prepared & braver!! Pathetic I know, apologies to those who have seriously ill DC that go through this all the time.
