Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request. ### Instruction: My pediatric urologist wants to put my child under general anasthetics at 6 monthsI am worried about negative impacts this might have on brain development is it possible to have a successful surgery done at 3 years old instead?. ### Response: 3 year old kids get extremely stressed about surgery and will remember both the period before and the pain afterwards. It can be very traumatizing for them.A 6 month old will have no clue what's happening and won't remember.The available evidence suggests that a one off exposure to a general anaesthetic will not have long term implications for neurodevelopment. However your concerns are very valid and you should discuss it further with your paediatrician..
