If they can do a C-Section with the patient awake they can probably do almost anything that's below midlevel on the spine, or on the arms.

That's probably almost everything except heart or neck surgery. (Even brain surgery is usually done with the patient awake.)

Isn't some brain surgery done awake?
I've had neck surgery while awake.
