How is surgery “successful” when they used a coat hanger? Can you imagine the infection risk?
And sure, fly another 1-2 hr to get to the final destination, but they flew 8+ hours.
It kinda makes no sense.

An in-flight surgery that stabilizes the patient indefinitely is more successful IMO than one with all the best tooling that gets the patient killed.
Infection is not an automatic outcome. My grandma was an obstetric nurse, she witnessed surgeons in 1950s Southern Italy performing operations with rusty knives; and most patients would still be ok.
Sometimes we forget that the human race survived for thousands of years without the niceties of modern medicine. It's good to minimise risk, but in the end risk does not mean certainty of bad outcomes.
It needs to be 70%.

I've never quite understood that. But there has been a lot I don't understand these past few years.
If all you have to disinfect your ad hoc instruments is brandy, then use it: way better than nothing.
