Is a second dangerous?

Patient's question:

That's right, my mother had an aneurysm surgery before. It was said that she had arteriosclerosis at that time, and it was the abdominal aorta, as I remember. But now she needs to have a second aneurysm surgery again. Is this situation dangerous? I'm worried that my mother can't endure it.

Doctor's answer:

As long as it is surgery, there will be certain risks involved, and the same applies to aneurysm surgery, especially for a second surgery. This is because the patient has already undergone one surgery, which has already taken a significant toll on their body. A second surgery is likely to be riskier than the first one. However, whether your mother needs a second surgery depends on her specific condition. If the requires it, the surgery should still be performed.
