It was dangerous because:
- Of infection
Many patients died because of infection as doctors did not start washing their hands or sterilising equipment until the late 1800's
-Bleeding
Patients also died because they lost so much blood during surgery and/or through shock
-Pain
There were not any suitable anaesthetics apart from herbal remedies and alcohol but these did not completley relieve symptoms, and so all operations were carried out as swiftly as possible
Hope this helps!
