How long does surgery like while under anesthesia?

The duration of surgery while under anesthesia varies widely depending on the type and complexity of the procedure. Minor surgeries may last anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, while more complex surgeries can take several hours. The anesthesia itself typically lasts as long as the surgery, plus additional time for recovery, during which patients are monitored as they wake up. Always consult with the surgical team for specific information related to individual procedures.
