Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. This type of surgery can be done high brachial /interscalene muscle block.In this only the concern shoulder and arm is anaesthetized ( painfree). You may discuss about this with your treating doctor/Anaesthetist and if they found that you are right candidate then surgery may be done.It is much safer than the general anaesthesia.
Hope your query is answered.
Take care
