Vaginal Hysterectomy Risks -- Convert to Major Abdominal Surgery
Sometimes during surgery, problems come up that were not expected. If problems come up, your doctor might need to change your surgery to major abdominal surgery. This means your abdomen will have an incision in it. If your life is in danger the abdominal surgery will help the doctor see where the problems are and try to fix them. This does not happen often, but you and your family should know about it.
