I'm looking for some help understanding which surgery would take 10 hours to complete. I'm not sure if this is an unusual amount of time for a surgery or if it's common. Can anyone provide some insight into the matter? Are there any particular types of surgeries that take longer than usual? Are there any risks associated with longer surgeries? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Open-Heart Surgery

Open-heart surgery is a type of major surgery that typically takes 10 hours or more to complete. This type of surgery is done to repair or replace damaged heart valves, replace a damaged heart muscle, or correct certain heart defects.
