Not a similar surgery, but I'll share one of mine. I had to get my wisdom teeth removed a few years ago after getting an infection in my gums from one of them. They didn't put me under, just gave me a local anesthetic.

Well they started pulling before the anesthetic kicked in. That didn't feel great. I cried out, doctor said "oops!", waited a few minutes then went back to work on it. I don't remember why they didn't put me out, but that was the worst experience. I could hear the teeth breaking from my jaw in my head.

Two days after surgery I got strep throat.
