Possibility of 3 broken ribs, will that affect an operation?
17 Answers
My mum is due to get an operation in less than a week to remove a cancerous lump from her breast, she has discovered that she may have 3broken ribs and is going for an x ray tomorrow.. the doctor said today that the surgeon will have to be informed of this but never actually stated why. Does anybody have any idea if this will have any influence on the operation? If it will have to be rescheduled or should it be okay? Its on the opposite side that needs to be operated on
Thanks

Radiologists are highly trained hospital staff, but rarely offer an opinion. In the end the decision will be made by the full team (Consultant, Registrar, Surgeon and Anaesthetist ) based on the full picture (unintention al pun).
