Standing on one's feet for 43 hours

Imagine this.
After a 35-hour surgery on a Wisconsin man, Dr. Tomoaki Kato of New York went in for eight hours more (same patient).
The article raises a pertinent question: Is it worth it? (Not just the time and cost.) But will it significantly improve the patient's life and, more broadly, will it be a teaching tool for other surgeons? Time will tell.
