Without a complete medical history or even knowledge of what you are going to be operated on for, it would not be useful for a Dr on this site to comment on your ECG results. Talk to your surgeon or the referring primary care Dr who know you and your health problems for clarification on what these mean.

Some nonspecific ST abnormalities on a resting EKG are not caused by cardiac pathology & some are. If you had an old EKG for comparison it would be helpful in ruling out an active cardiac process if the current EKG was unchanged from the old one. With upcoming surgery you'll most likely have a cardiologist evaluate you and, depending upon the assessment, give the surgeon the OK to operate on you.
