      Lots of people get surgery at the end of life in an attempt to save them. Because we don’t have a crystal ball to say who will do well and who won’t, if someone is actively dying of a process, we try, and often fail, to save a lot of folks who orherwise have a 100% death rate.

      By way of an example, an older person has mesenteric ischemia - dead gut. I may offer surgery even though the published mortality is 50%, because otherwise their mortality is 100%, and it’s a bad way to go. So yes. Half of such folks will die after the surgery, but not of it.

          So the old adage applies here " The Surgery was successful, but the patient died" To paraphrase.

          That's the too aggressive doctor adage. The caring surgeon one ends, "died anyway."
