Local anesthesia: the anesthetic drug is usually injected into the tissue to numb just the specific location of your body requiring minor surgery, for example, on the hand or foot. Regional anesthesia: your anesthesiologist makes an injection near a cluster of nerves to numb the area of your body that requires surgery. You might be awake, or you may be given something to help you relax, sometimes called a sedative. There are several kinds of regional anesthesia. Two of the most frequently used are spinal and epidural anesthesia, which are produced by injections made with great exactness in the appropriate areas of the back. They are frequently preferred for childbirth and prostate surgery. General anesthesia: you are unconscious and have no awareness or other sensations. There are a number of general anesthetic drugs. Some are gases or vapors inhaled through a breathing mask or tube and others are medications introduced through a vein. During anesthesia, you are carefully monitored, controlled and treated by your anesthesiologist. A breathing tube may be inserted through your mouth and frequently into the windpipe to maintain proper breathing during this period. The length and level of anesthesia is calculated and constantly adjusted with great precision. At the conclusion of surgery, your anesthesiologist will reverse the process and you will regain awareness in the recovery room.

Local anesthesia numbs the area around the surgery site and you will feel no pain. You may fee slight tugging or something, but nothing that approaches pain. I have had local anesthesia for a number of minor surgeries. It will be fine. Just put your worries aside and go with the flow to get your necessary surgery completed. No, you will not have a tube down your throat.

You may or may not be sprayed or dabbed with a numbing agent first, to dull the needle stick site. General anesthesia is where you're rendered unconscious. I've had oral surgery under general, without an ET tube, though they would have a hard time working around it. For major surgery, you would most likely be tubed.
