Im very sorry to read about your husbands continuing post rads issues. Ive had several surgeries since the mandibulectomies in 2009. I always end up having a long chat with the anesthesiologist during my per-admission testing. I was surprised every anesthesiologist Ive met with over the years has been able to put me out by putting very thin tube up my nose and down my throat. Having severe trismus, I was surprised this was able to be done. I was only partially awake when this was done once and I barely remember it as I was already pretty groggy by what they gave me thru my IV.

I suggest speaking to the surgeon at length and also the anesthesiologist. They will need your husbands history and to know all about any post rads issues he may have besides the obvious, what hes having surgery for.

Best wishes with the upcoming surgery!!! Pleas let us know how your husband makes out and how he did with the anesthesiologist.
