Thank you for writing and we are sorry to hear of your brother's health troubles - I am sure this is not easy on the whole family.
Unfortunately we are not in position to tell you if surgery will work for your brother. His age makes things a bit more risky - older age in any kind of surgery is a disadvantage. But since his general health is quite good, this will be a benefit.
Make sure his doctors advise him of all the pros and cons of this surgery. Ultimately this decision is his to make. His aftercare will be very important also.
