Yes, spinal anesthesia is a good choice fot hemorrhoidectomy.
No it is not used for hemorrhoidectomy.
Can be.
Not typically but that is a discussion to have directly with your surgeon and anesthesiologist.
Spinal anesthesia is only rarely used for surgery on hemorrhoids. With new medicines and techniques, a brief general anesthesia is generally an excellent choice for a pleasant experience and prompt recovery with quick discharge.
This should be answered by a surgeon and/or anesthesiologist
