Because i have had a few operations before, does that greatly increase my risk this time (due to scar tissue around the heart)? I live in Australia and my specialist here gave me the talk of it being a high risk operation, etc. but he is only very young and actually quite slack (When he gave me that talk, I was supposed to be seeing him so he could let me know a date for my operation...
With children there is usually two operations, the second operation to account for the growth factor of a child.
HI, I would think in this great time we live in that an operation could be developed to take care of a DRY EJACULATION, does not seem like a serious health problem but to men it is and to the mans partner. I was told it might happen but not how the feelings would be and how incomplete sex is with my partner, means a lot to me and I bet a lot of other men feel the same.I would love to know if maybe there is some types of experimental operations going on in the world to help.

I actually have great admiration for your husband for putting up with so many operations. Many heart disease patients have a natural feeling that they only have a short time to live but many go on to live long healthy lives. It is psychologically hard on a person due to the constant symptoms such as tiredness etc, many of which are due to medications to prevent the heart from over working. It is not possible to put a time on someones life with heart disease.
How do you find out the number of heart operations or procedures your doctor has performed and his/her success rate?
It sounds like congestive heart failure (CHF) which means her heart is not working sufficiently to supply the bodys needs. Causes can be disease to heart muscle, causing it to stiffen or weaken, or diseases which cause body tissue to increase oxygen demand to a level where the heart cannot cope. I believe it can also be a result of many years of high blood pressure. CHF can go on to affect other organs in the body because the heart cannot meet their demands for oxygen.
Re-operations are generally thought to be higher-risk than first-time operations, but some of the top centers (on the order of Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, Texas Heart, Mass General, etc.) are showing re-op mortality and morbidity stats that are very similar to first-time stats. The skill of the surgeon plays a huge, huge role. Your daughter needs an expert surgeon. In my opinion, she should try to go to a major heart center for this operation, even if she has to travel.
I have a seventeen year old son that has had several operations for shunt replacements in 2009. He was diagnosed with Hydrochapulus and a Cysts in the "Small Brain" area. The cysts is very large which covers nearly the entire bottom part of the brain at the back. We have just had a CT scan done and they mentioned hypodensity in the Medulla area. My son's behaviour has become very erratic, he is very depressed, and he is suicidal as he does not want to live.
I am wondering whether to try surgery again with all the misery and difficulty or try to live with it with a truss..The surgeon insists that this has not happened in 500 such operations and that additional surgery will require considerably more work and methods due to all the mesh involved.
I am very active and need input...Please offer suggestions....
I've had SVT ablation operations about 10 years ago with the symptoms of racing heart which was a great success. but the last 2 years I've felt dizzy/foggy and a sore neck, which last for a couple of days sometime more, then nothing for a month, then returns.
