It was an outpatient procedure during which I was mildly sedated rather than under general anesthesia. I'm surprised this hasn't been available for pets sooner. Thank goodness this is now an option for dogs, and hopefully soon for cats, as well. I wholeheartedly support advancement in veterinary medicine, making it less invasive with better prognoses and faster recoveries, less expense for pet parents, and longer happier lives for them to spend with us.
