Answer from: Alpesh Doshi
The answer is yes you can. It’s not advised but you do get some patients who may be at a risk with anesthesia. For example women with a very high BMI, may be at a slightly higher risk of taking any kind of anesthesia, so they may be advised to have an egg collection procedure just under local anesthetic. It is not the most comfortable I must add, but in some patients either they choose not to have an anesthetic or medically it may be recommended for them not to have any kind of sedatives or anesthesia
