Dad has cirrhosis of the liver and had esophageal variceal bleeding, how long does he have after surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unknown: If you are asking what his life span is, nobody knows. There are alternatives to surgery for esophageal varices including tips by interventional radiologists, and endoscopic banding done by gastroenterologists.
