The type of anesthesia is consulted with the anesthesiologist. In most cases, knee arthroscopy is performed under subarachnoid anesthesia, which involves puncturing the spine, thanks to which the patient is conscious during the procedure, and his lower limbs are anesthetized and incapacitated. Very rarely, in exceptional cases, general anesthesia is used.
