Centenarians may benefit from surgery doctor says
Dr. Mark R. Katlic of Massachusetts General Hospital argues that age alone should not bar centenarians from surgery. He notes several 100 plus patients undergoing procedures ranging from pacemaker generator replacement to hip repair lived for one to two more years, with some extending life beyond. He emphasizes thorough organ-system management and that a 100 year old can survive surgery as well as their offspring, if fit.
