MRI Fusion Biopsy?

Just curious...why would anyone NOT get general anesthesia for either kind of biopsy? I got the transperineal while knocked out on Propofol. Going through that while awake sounds like a real horror show, even with a local numbing.

We are all different. For me I concur with your post. Just was not something I wanted to be awake for and having anesthesia drastically reduced my anxiety and stress prior to procedure.

For some anesthesia is not for them. Ohers pain thresholds are different in what they can endure or even feel.

I had the same propofol anesthesia along with other relaxers. I felt nothing prior, during, or after. And if someone had not told me was all over would not know even had been done.
