Spinal anesthesia can be used, or the patient can have general anesthesia. Personal preference.
It can be done with a spinal epidural or caudal.
If you are having a procedure in the operating room, particularly removal of a hemorrhoid, then chances are you are going to sleep. The only in-office procedure is banding for internal hemorrhoids, but this is not indicated for external hemorrhoids.
Yes, normally.
