The 5 most common surgeries at my facility are in no particular order:
1. Laparascopic cholecystectomy: in this procedure, 3 or 4 holes are made in the abdomen, a camera and instruments are placed in the holes and the gallbladder is removed.
2. Vaginal hysterectomy: in this procedure, the uterus, cervix and possibly tubes and ovaries are removed through the vagina.
3. Abdominal hysterectomy: in this procedure, the uterus, cervix and possibly the tubes and ovaries are removed through an incision made in the abdomen. The incision may be "bikini" cut or up and down.
4. Laparascopic appendectomy: in this procedure, 2 or 3 holes are made in the abdomen, a camera and instruments are placed in the holes and the appendix is removed.
5. Laminectomy: in this procedure, a bony arch of a vertebrae is removed in the back, relieving pressure (back surgery).

My aunt did. It's supposed to be easier to get over than the other kind with an actual abdominal incision. You'll probably have some packing in your vagina for a couple days, to help stop bleeding.
