>It doesn't mix with most anesthetics....
It really depends on the type of surgery and the type of anesthetic which is going to be used. In some cases, problems can arise due to other drugs used during/after surgery, and not the anesthetic itself. I think this need to be discussed with the anesthesiologist as soon as possible. The anesthesiologist will know which techniques he can use for this specific surgery and whether there are likely to be any issues. He may be able to modify the anesthetic technique in order to avoid interactions.
