Has anyone with a leaky heart valve had colon cancer surgery


Has anyone with a leaky heart valve had colon cancer surgery?
Did everything turn out good? No problems in the operating room? No infections? My dad is 71 and needs the surgery. Please help

HI Tuke, The surgeon and the anaesthetist will evaluate you dad's condition very carefully before they subject him to this surgery. No surgeon or anaesthetist likes to have a "death on the table" or a death due to surgical intervention. I am a RN. I too have a role in pre-op assessment. Patients who are not fit for surgery are always managed conservatively. It does not mean that they do not get any treatment.
