All operations carry some risk.
There is a small possibility that a laparoscopy can lead to accidental damage to the bowel or to blood vessels in the abdomen or pelvis. Ask your surgeon about this.
The risk in having a general anaesthetic is low, but depends on a number of things, including the type of operation you are having, and your general health. You will meet your anaesthetist before hand, and he or she will explain what you can expect.
