    OP,

    My Father was 68 when he underwent hernia surgery.... But he was hale and healthy during surgery. (Touchwood)... he never had diabetics, BP and cholestrol..so the surgery went very fine and smooth....

    Its been 3 years since we operated no issues for him still...

    Check ypur fathers health before proceeding with surgery...I think sugar,cholestral and BP should be in control....Now a days, they do laproscopy also for hernia.... so talk to the doctor about it,

    Thanks a lot for your opinion Deeprspriya... Even he doesn't have any of issues which u specified above ... Still considering his age we got scared in hearing about this surgery ... With gods grace and dr s advice we wish to go for it and wants to him to be back healthy ..,. Ur words gave me support n confidence to go ...
    Further one query local or general anaesthesia ... Which dr prefers for this age ? Which done for ur father ...?
