the condition of losing one's sensation or awareness during surgery and other procedures, particularly by use of special drugs

Anesthesia is the use of medications to block pain and sensation during medical procedures or surgeries. It can be given in different ways: locally, to numb a small area; regionally, to numb a larger area of the body; or generally, to put the patient into a sleep-like state where they are unaware of the procedure. Anesthesia helps ensure that patients are comfortable and do not feel pain during treatment.

A biopsy is a medical procedure where a small sample of tissue is taken from the body to be examined under a microscope.

The tissue sample can be taken from almost any part of the body using a needle, endoscope, or during surgery. Biopsies help doctors understand the cause of symptoms, decide on the best treatment plan, and check the effectiveness of the treatment.
