Avatar n tn For elderly patients with aortic stenosis undergoing nonemergency valve replacement in recent years, the perioperative mortality rate is reported to be as low as 4 to 5%, and the surgical mortality rate is 5 to 10%, even if heart failure is present. The perioperative mortality rate is higher for patients undergoing aortic valve replacement combined with CABG than for those undergoing aortic valve replacement alone (4 to 6% for patients in their mid-70s, 10% for patients in their 80s).
Avatar m tn I'm thinking of having an Esophagectomy and from what I read about this procedure really scares me. Had surgery before but nothing like this and I'm wondering if it's really worth the risk. Having a feeding tube hooked to an intestine after surgery doesn't sound like much fun and still having a chance of choking is what I'm trying to get away from. I discussed my questions with the surgeon and he said I was the most negative person he talked to all day.
Avatar f tn I had hoped that he would be able to provide a little more information - but at least he reassured you that the mortality rate for the surgery carried out in Canada would be much lower than the levels suggested to you in HK. I have done a little research for you and I would suggest the following:- - log on to the Canadian Society of Colo-rectal surgeons (www.cscrs.
Avatar n tn Ringe and his group reviewed the medical literature published since 1989, including anecdotal reports and substantial surveys, in an attempt to update the worldwide living donor mortality rate. Their goal was to assess the accuracy of the information assigning certainty levels to each source identified.
Avatar f tn I need gallbladder surgery in the near future. I have abdominal meshing and want to know if they can do laproscopic surgery on me or not. ANYONE have my issue?
Avatar m tn I have an epigastric hernia so I have surgery and fix it right? Well, my surgery is scheduled for THIS FRIDAY (two days from today) and now I am reading all of the forums and all of the bad news from patients that are sorry they went through with the surgery. ARE THERE ANY GOOD AFTER SURGERY REPORTS OUT THERE? I don't know if I will make an already bad situation worse or if there is hope for me. Please help. Thanks so much!
1580703 tn?1651904887 The doctor examined me and found a groin hernia and I'm scheduled for surgery in sept. I think I want laproscopic but am I going to end up with permanent pain? will the mesh or non-tension method fail to stop the hernia from progressing? I think it's from the gym or coughing from this tracheotomy I'm getting this crippling nausea sometimes and sometimes protonix helps. is it from the hernia or diabetes or GERD? thanks!
Avatar n tn That is just how is body is and has become accustomed to it. However he did have a pacemaker put in since he developed a Hernia and no hernia surgeon would touch him if he had that low a pulse rate. So since you have experienced a black out episode, I would consider a pacemaker. By the way, my father does say it was the best thing he did by putting in the pacemaker since it was quick, painless and now he doesn't worry about his pulse.
Avatar f tn The problem seems to be that they will not do the hernia operation because of the mortality rate, and ascites. Hernias are huge and quiet a problem with movement. My partner has to mostly lay on the couch with short duration of exercise. He is under 50 yrs and drank for years but not touched it for 7 months. Has anyone else been refused hernia operations? Does a person have to wait until strangulation occurs and risks are higher? What's a person to do?
1666825 tn?1303252659 I have this health problems for more than a year now - and they find out last week that I have a small hiatal hernia. I always have pain on my chest and back after or during eating. Getting a higher heart rate and palpitations. I lost power by doing sport - shortness of breath. Who can help???
Avatar n tn In a series of 112 patients, only 4 deaths occurred over a median follow-up of 3 years. The recurrence rate is 1-5%. Recurrence after 4 years is uncommon. The recurrence rate of familial patients is 20%. Recurrence is usually attributed to incomplete excision of the tumor, growth from a second focus, or intracardiac implantation from the primary tumor.
Avatar n tn I had my gall bladder removed and had no side effects until two weeks afterward. I started getting a horrid sour taste in my mouth. I was told to take prevacid twice a day and a zantac 150 before I went to bed. Bed is elevated. I started feeling better but still had bouts of the sour taste and have stomach pain for weeks/months at a time. The doc said of course it is bile reflux.

Avatar f tn I am a chinese woman and live in Calgary, I plan to go back to Hong Kong to do surgery, but the mortality rate of colon surgery is 36% is very high. Thanks !
Avatar f tn That is a very difficult question. There is an extremely high mortality rate regardless of age for this condition, and it depends upon where the problem exists. In most cases it is best to keep blood pressure under control and simply follow a program of watchful waiting. That being said, mortality from surgical intervention is far more dependant upon the surgeon than the age of the patient.
Avatar f tn The higher the score the less chance of survival, the higher the mortality rate. In interpreting the MELD Score in hospitalized patients, the 3 month mortality is: * 40 or more — 71.3% mortality * 30–39 — 52.6% mortality * 20–29 — 19.6% mortality * 10–19 — 6.0% mortality * <9 — 1.
Avatar f tn It depends on which form of supraventricular tachycardia someone suffer from, and more important, if someones heart is healthy or not. A healthy heart can usually tolerate supraventricular tachycardia without problems, and usually even ventricular arrhythmias without problems. An unhealthy heart can get problems with a rapid heart rhythm, through different mechanisms.
Avatar m tn I have to ask how bad is ur GERD u feel the need to have this surgery?I have a hiatal hernia and just wondered at what point people seek this option.
Avatar n tn Would still go for surgery for thyroid and any neck lymph nodes first. Then I-131 (radioactive iodine) after surgery - if the lung spot takes up I-131, then we know it's thyroid cancer metastasis. 50% or more survival at 5 years in a 67 year old male with PTC to lung. If the spot does not take up I-131, sometimes biopsy is required to determine what it is. PET scanning may be helpful. Occassionally, if solitary lung nodule/metastasis, it can be removed.
446474 tn?1446347682 Patients whose AFP levels reached 1,000 ng/mL had a 12% one-year survival rate and only a 1% five-year survival rate. These patients had an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of mortality of 4.35 compared with HCC patients with AFP levels below 10 ng/mL. Furthermore, patients’ mortality risk grew incrementally with increasing AFP levels: mortality risk was 1.50 (95% CI, 1.22-1.83) in patients with AFP levels between 10 and 100 ng/mL and 2.23 (95% CI, 1.80-2.
