He is Wrong: Do not let them operate! flatulence is a function of diet, fluids and bacterial growth in the colon and has nothing to do with redundancy.

No Surgery indicated: Other source is aerophagia, that is swallowing air that occurs when the diaphragm contracts & creates negative intrathoracic pressure to breathe but also draws air into the thoracic esophagus. This source may be exaggerated by respiratory issues like asthma or psychological issues like anxiety, but still would not be helped by colon surgery.
