    That’s not been my understanding as to the price of drugs.

    It’s not the surgery per se that’s the issue but the risk of encephalopathy. Aging bodies don’t fight infection as well as babies do. Also the other risks of stroke from clots, the stress on the pulmonary system from anesthesia and the costs of the at home care during recovery.
