A member asked:

Help please? i want to know what are the chances of a 95 year old surviving gall bladder surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Craig Carter answered

Specializes in Thoracic Surgery

Depends: Most of the issue would be the condition of the patient going into the operation. Mortality in that case is related to the co- morbidities, not age.

Dr Kuhnke and another doctor agreed
