A member asked:
Can you tell me about risk of bowel perforation during laparoscopic hysterectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very uncommon: Any abdominal or pelvic surgery can result in a bowel injury. The risk depends on how complicated the surgery is to perform. The experience of your surgeon is also important. On the rare occasion that the bowel is injured it can usually be repaired with minimal problems. Problems result if your surgeon did not realize the bowel was perforated.
