Chillin' with the herd
We had our vet surgically dehorn one of our goats and his recovery was only about a day or two. We did NOT go the route of leaving an open wound that had to be kept covered, etc. It cost more, but the vet gave a general anesthetic and stitched the site closed. It's not really cost effective to do this all the time, but for one-off cases, I'd say its a good option. We pulled the stitches ourselves after about two weeks, which was...entertaining.
I guess if you're considering the surgical route, its worth asking HOW they do it.
