I heard that in USSR the policy for apendectomy was that adults got only local anesthesia and kids would get general. No idea if that was the official policy or rumors only. I had appendectomy when I was 12 (that was USSR times) and got general anesthesia.
- trhway 6y agomost probably it was some kind of officially established policy/practice. My mother got the appendectomy when she was an adult, and i got the nose job when i was almost 16, while the hernia surgery that i had at 5 was naturally under general.
