Anaesthesia Osteotomy

All patients are assessed pre-operatively to establish the safest and most appropriate anaesthetic technique for each individual. Your anaesthetist will discuss the clinical benefits of any techniques with you before you have your operation.

In this video, Consultant Anaesthetists Dr Nick Jones and Dr Piers Wilson from Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust explain the main types of anaesthesia that tend to be used for Osteotomy Surgery.

You can find a downloadable pdf information sheet on this page which reviews Anaesthesia Options and which can be printed for future reference. Additional information can be found by following the Anaesthesia Information link on this page.
