Revisions and mortality rates?

A surgeon here said that he basically refuses to do revisions, because 1 in 5 dies. Now...personally...I have never seen or heard anything like that. He did lose a patient recently during surgery (heart attack) and I think he's just heavy-hearted BUT what statistics have you heard? Can you link me to that? Please?
