Every surgery is dangerous. The worst complication with any bowel resection is anastomotic leak, but the risk for this complication depends largely on the type of bowel resection, the acuity of the surgery, comorbidities, and overall health. Other, more common acute complications are bleeding, infection, and ileus. Long-term complications include small bowel obstruction (at least 10% lifetime risk), hernia, poor vitamin absorption, diarrhea, short gut syndrome, and difficulty with subsequent abdominal procedures.

Laparoscopic technique is far superior to open technique in almost every way. The procedure is much shorter, leading to less time under anesthesia. Recovery is infinitely better. Most people return to work within 1 week after laparoscopic, but many are out of work longer than a month with open. Complications are much lower with laparoscopic (fewer wound infections, less ileus, lower dvt rate, lower risk of hernia, less pain). This answer is fact, not opinion. Anyone who offers someone an open approach without first attempting laparoscopic should lose their license. Relative exceptions to this are concerns for malignancy, a history of many pelvic AND abdominal surgeries, and known abscess on imaging.
