Not very likely.
I had none.
I spent 16 years providing anesthesia services at the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins, by the end of which time (1998) they were using techniques and equipment almost as good as today's, and problems of any sort, even pain, were quite uncommon.
Serious problems were very rare (and likely to be caused by some underlying health condition of the patient).
