[|Human|] hi I have a family member that is in his late 70s who went in yesterday . he has a hernia that has not had treatment over a year he would not go to the doctor he was told today he will have to get surgery to get it removed he is not very well any way will he live and how long will he take to recover if  he dose live ?
[|AI|]  Hi ! You general condition of your family member is not very clear from the above. If the pre anesthetic check up has cleared him for surgery, he should undergo surgery for a hernia as it might give him more trouble without notice any time. Nowadays, anesthesia and surgery have undergone a lot of improvement in terms of lowering the risks of both. Therefore, I would definitely suggest surgery if he is considered fit by the anesthesiologist and the treating physician. Take care.
