I understand your fear but try not to worry, unless you live in mexico where the mortality rate is much higher. On average, worlwide, the motrtality rate is just 0.19% or 19 people in 1000. http://www.wired.com/special_multimed…

To put his in perspective take as look at the mortality rate for cancer sufferers here: http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-a…
The biggest cancer killer is pancreatic cancer where only 2.7% of people survive 20 years or more, that’s only 27 people per 1000. For something like breast cancer it’s 65% surviving for 30 years. That’s 650 people for every 1000. You can expect a statistical mortality rate of 981 per thousand. It’s safer than many commonplace operations. Try not to worry.

Hope this helps
