Napoleon III Healthier

Getting a surgery in these days was not pleasant. The only general anesthetic was cyclopropane (no cocaine is not a general anesthetic), and it's not well known. With no antibiotics, there was a serious chance of infection (what... 3/4 abonominal surgeries ended up with an infection and a good minority of that leads to death).

In these days, a stone removal specialist surgeon (I made that term up, but there were some that did stones for 3/4 of their jobs and most surgeons had stones a minority, so it's fair to say these are specialists) was gauged not by how many of his patients lived but by how quickly he could remove the stones.

Well let's suppose Franz Joseph recommends a surgeon to Napoleon III and the guy is really fast. In early 1867 Napoleon III is given some pain-killers like aspirin or whatever and the guy removes the kidney stone and stiches him up quickly. Amazingly, he's lucky enough to not get more than a minor infection and three days after the surgery, he's no different than guy recovering from a 100% successful kidney stone removal. Does this affect history?

1) Ether and chloroform had both been in use as anaesthetics for over two decades by then.
2) he ended up having the operation in 1873, so doing it earlier seems entirely plausible.
 
The big difference is no war of 1870 for instance. He personally opposed it, but didn't feel capable of resisting pressure from his entourage.
