The pediatric anesthesiologist usually gives anesthesia to babies who will undergo hypospadias surgery. They use general anesthesia to put the baby to sleep and will not feel any discomfort during surgery. It is safe to put babies to sleep because the pediatric anesthesiologists are highly trained to give anesthesia and give care to babies while surgery. In addition, anesthesia given is computed based on the baby’s weight in order to give the right dose of anesthesia and pain medications. Some anesthesiologists also use nerve blocks to lessen the pain after the operation.
