Extremely Rare: There are risks with any procedure but death from a laparoscopy is extremely rare. If other procedures are included such as a laparoscopic hysterectomy the risk goes up, but it is still quit low.

Rarely: Laparoscopy is real surgery in spite of the small incisions used to perform it. Blood vessels and bowels can be injured resulting in hemorrhage and infection. Fortunately, laparoscopy has become safer thanks to associations as the aagl and new training techniques for surgeons.
