Sometimes a small amount of the gas used to expand your abdomen is retained for a day or two, and this can cause some shoulder pain before it dissolves away. Depending on the type of operation that your laparoscopy involved, you might also have some cramping in the pelvis or abdomen. Some laparoscopy procedures in the pelvis normally cause a small amount of bleeding through the vagina.
Some patients experience some nausea from the medicines used for anesthesia or anxiety.
These complications are mostly heart and lung problems and infections. For laparoscopy the risk of complications from anesthesia are smaller than average, because most surgeries done with laparoscopy are fairly simple and do not require you to have anesthesia for much longer than an hour.
