What are the risks of surgery for high blood pressure?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello can high blood pressure be treated surgically? What are the risks of surgery for high blood pressure?

Doctor's answer:

If you have high blood pressure, it is better to actively control your blood pressure before undergoing surgery. If your blood pressure is not well-controlled and you have surgery, it may lead to the wound reopening due to high blood pressure. There is also a risk of triggering a recurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases due to the stimulation of the surgery. Generally, blood pressure is well-controlled during surgery.
