Yes, I had a laparoscopic nephrectomy and there are several clips left inside. They show up on X-Ray.
I am having pain in my side where they took out my gallbladder. I have metal clips...could they cause the pain?
Yes, several of them.
The clips used in surgery for hysterectomy and pelvic surgery is unlikely to be the cause of hip pain six years later.
There is no known cause of Fibromyalgia. However, it has been found that Fibromyalgia often occurs after a major physical stressor like surgery or an accident. While it's not likely that leaving the clips in was the cause of itself, it is possible that the added stress on the body of both the surgery and then having the clips left in could have been the instigating factor for the Fibromyalgia.
hysterectomy
the surgery that you are referring to is called a hysterectomy.
It is the same risk as other major surgery.
The removal of an ovary via surgery is called an oopherectomy, an hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus.
There is the possiblility of hysterectomy being preformed in out patient. The Supracervical laparoscopic is the name of the type of procedure that is commonly used.
Even just one of anything that is accidentally left inside a patient during surgery is too many.

With no ovaries or uterus, you definitely won't get pregnant.
Yes, it's called a complete hysterectomy. A common surgery for cancer.
