Dear welcome to HCM and thanks for choosing us.
Obviously, you will need anaesthesia for bladder removal. It is a major surgery and you will certainly require strong anaesthesia. It is generally done in general anaesthesia. Because surgery may last longer, and general anaesthesia can be prolonged as per required. However it can be done in spinal anaesthesia also. You can discuss with your doctor about your needs and choice of anaesthesia.
I hope my reply will benefit you. Please write to us or me for more questions. I wish you good health. Kindly rate this reply. Thanks
