There are many different kinds of "routine" surgery - e.g. transplanting an artificial hipjoint. It needs to be done, but (in most cases) its not important whether you wait some weeks.
There are even some operations at the heart (e.g. some kinds of vasodilatation) that are considered "can wait" (in fact: most (thats most, not all) surgical interventions can wait at least some days, if not weeks or months).
