Trepanning is not a concept known to Coruscant, no. Maybe to Tatooine. But it rings no bells, thankfully--
As soon as the knife makes contact, the color starts to drain out of Anakin's face; as it cuts, his breathing grows shallower and shallower into hyperventilation. He very obviously belabors his breathing a bit then, to try and control it, but to no avail--his chest is seizing up. It is the remarkable silence of someone in extreme pain. His fingers are balled up into fists, even the metal ones, and his feet kick and scuff at the table's surface. But he holds his head still.
His pride is only spared crying out by a second--a second in which he goes slack and still all at once, and Jason has to prop his head up by reflex to keep it from lolling. Anakin's blacked out completely.
That probably makes things easier, for the time being.
Blood is pouring out of the side of his head. Gauze is going to be a temporary solution, at best.
