A member asked:

Dear dr,i had a recent surgery for a kidney stone (laser) my pre op list said possible mitral stenosis,would i be operated on or sedated undiagnosed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"possible MS": The devil's in the details! If your preop list says "possible mitral stenosis", I presume you don't have severe MS. If you don't have severe MS, there's no serious risk of anesthesia or elective surgery. (If you do have severe MS, it should be corrected regardless of whether you have kidney stones and/or need elective surgery).

Dr Altman and 2 doctors agreed
