But he was screaming in pain during a scene of the surgery (followed by the scene showing Amidala was screaming as well).
Doesn't lack of anesthetics endanger the patient during surgery? (shock from the pain, etc). Granted Anakin is strong in the Force, but why exposing Anakin to pain when they can sedate him instead? (at least locally) Isn't anesthetics something taken for granted during any surgery? Why skipping that part?
EDIT: missed this post

I see. So it was just his bad luck that he also happened to have burn wounds during the prothestic attachment?
But since the artificial limbs were attached to
open wounds, wouldn't some degree of anesthetics needed for that purpose? I don't think getting the patient screaming in pain is a proper medical procedure in Star Wars universe either.
