Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this abdominal hernia. Anesthesia is a major concern during surgery and we must make sure it would be safe for you to be put to sleep. The risk of this and the surgery are compared to the risk of not doing immediate surgery. If there is great concern, then the surgery may not be the straight way forward. Since you now have pain which may suggest a complication, they may find enough reasons to justify going in for surgery despite the poor state of health and the huge risk of anesthesia. In whatever case, your safety and good health is the priority.


I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
