Curly toes op on child - worried

My child is due to have an op on their foot to correct a couple of curly toes .

They will be put under anesthetic for the op but now im filled with dread , I worry about the risks about going under and dont want to risk my child's life .
Id prefer local and possible sedation , im super anxious about it . My child isnt toddler and is almost a teenager , the surgery is necessary and my child has complained about pain while walking/running and is very self conscious about them

Everybody worries about GA. Your poor kid is in pain though, they need the op. There’s no reason at all not to go ahead. They can’t possibly have an ortho op under local that would be traumatic. You need to get a grip on your anxiety.
