I took a peek at your profile and a few of the others just to confirm - I suspect the difference is down to countries.
I’m from the UK. Broadly speaking, the NHS won’t risk using general anaesthetic if it’s not needed. My appointment was just an out-patient affair. On the table, on your side, bum out, think happy thoughts… The whole thing took probably thirty minutes at most.
The best part of being awake is that you can ask questions. I could see the screen and the doctor pointed out what he was looking for when he found it (and to answer the obvious follow up question, it was just a weird blood vessel thing).

They are not that concerning but better safe than sorry lol. I can’t imagine them snipping if you are awake though. I mean that has got to hurt.
