neutral  liz askew: isn't this a place though, also you don't usually have a GA for endoscopy, just a local. Your interpretation makes no sense though.
1 min
  -> The wording and the preposition make both interpretations possible. How can you be so sure Liz? If you translate it as a place rather than a procedure it would matter on medical notes..
agree  Katarina Kvarnhult: I agree with Lisa and the link posted above suggests this is the correct answer.

Reference information:
The meaning of the Italian acrocym "A G" seems to be "Anestesia Generale", please se under "COMPLICANZE ED EFFETTI COLLATERALI": "L’Anestesia Generale (AG) se l’intervento è indicato offre il miglior beneficio/rischio attuale per il bambino.
L’anestesia loco-regionale (ALR) comporta minori interferenze sulle funzioni vitali...."
