I wasn't attempting to answer that. I posted the quote more as a question to @Willyc the reason why this relatively low risk procedure was deemed an uninsurable risk by his underwriter. I didn't see anything in the three or four articles I looked at that would indicate that it's more dangerous now vs. then. But all of them seem to agree that it's no longer considered necessary in most cases, and not worth the risks.Wiki is not accepted by the OP.
Please try again.
You get extra points for using Mayo vs Wiki, but you did not explain why the risks are greater now vs 40 years ago
