At most hospitals, anesthesiologists give patients an interscalene nerve block as well as general anesthesia for rotator cuff repair surgery.
Rotator cuff shoulder surgery is performed under general anesthesia. It is also performed utilizing regional anesthesia where the anesthesia provider does a nerve block. It is also sometimes performed with the nerve block plus a lite gerneal anesthesia.
