HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern for your father this is the geriatric problems major surgeries in this age always gives major post operation events, and these are very unpredictable, one can not be sure for what will happen next, before taking such surgical procedure in hand, it would be benefited for the patient to manage the case medically, take care of your father, have good day.
