Default Should i have an apicectomy?

Hi,

I have had two episides of root canal on same tooth. Both have been unsuccessfull. The said tooth is an insizer that along with the premolar supports a 3 part bridge.

The dental hosp now wish to perform an apisecomy.

I am conserned that this will not work. Also if i am fortunate enough to have the treatment work will the tooth be strong enough to jointly support a new bridge when i replace it?

I have also had a hip replacement and am worried that if the infection is not erradicated soon the infection could have implications on my hip.
