Is This Going Ok To Go Under Anesthesia Two Times In One Week For A Minor Procedure And Surgery?

Brief Answer:
Please see the detailed answer below.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for the query on this platform. I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you are going under anesthesia for both endoscopy as well as colonoscopy on next monday and for septoplasty after 4 days of endoscopy.

Endoscopy and colonoscopy are both minor intervention procedure. If your doctor use general anesthesia, then you may be asleep during whole procedure. Again, your doctor can use non barbiturate newer short acting anesthetic induction drug for recovery period like few hours. Again, general anesthesia induced any type of complications will be subsided within 24 hours.

Then, you have three days in your hand for undergoing septoplasty. So, it will not develop any anesthesia induced complications. Your doctors are the best judge for choosing the appropriate step or measure for you. So, you can keep trust on them and their decisions. They will definitely try to do the best for you.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Zubayer Alam, General And Family Physician,
