I guess I'm a sucker for fixing what's wrong so I can live a very full life. At age 75 (01/2022) I had RALP. But they found I was in A-fib in pre-op. Did it anyway, so wtf. That led to a small heart monitor (just to watch for A-fib) implant 11/2022 (just local anesthesia).
Though it never showed on the scans, pathology showed PC had escaped the capsule. That led to ADT for 2 years (last shot 01/2024).
Was/am totally incontinent so an AUS installed 3/2023 - 4-hour surgery. Works great now.
Then A-fib needed an atrial ablation 10/2023 (that's a catheter up a vein from the groin and into the heart's atria to burn the mis-firing neurons). No more A-fib since. Woot!!
Recently at age 77:
10/24 repair incision ventral hernia. Relief and success!
11/24 total replacement of worn out hip. So good!
12/24 (on my 78th birthday) total replacement of knee (same leg). Better already but still doing PT visits so I'll be ready to kick-ass, take names, and have a super fun summer.
PC is still there but like the others it's resolved (for now and some ?? future).
So "surgery over the age of 75" isn't a hard and fast rule. Do what you NEED and can give you a quality of life.
I didn't think I'd have life quality: changing pads and diapers every day with a spare in my bulging pocket, nursing a hernia, fearing A-fib, hobbling slowly/painfully around on a worn out hip and knee.
I don't know how many more days the Good Lord will give me but I have big plans for each and every one and am most thankful for each one.
May you have many more fulfilling days ahead of you.
