Leven Rambin Says Doctors "Nicked" Aorta During Endometriosis Surgery

Penélope Cruz Says She’s Had Many Brain Aneurysm Scares After Sharing Near-Death Experience

Leven Rambin is sharing a terrifying health scare.

The Hunger Games actress detailed how a routine surgery for endometriosis became a life-threatening emergency due to a severe complication during the procedure.

"I went in for a routine endo laparoscopy," Rambin wrote in a July 10 TikTok video over footage of her in a hospital bed. "I had a Netflix job I needed to be at in 2 weeks and my doc said I would be fine. I woke up after surgery to many doctors and surgeons telling me they 'saved my life' after the dr accidentally KNICKED [sic] my aorta."

"They immediately performed repair surgery and [a] blood transfusion," she continued. "I'm on every med under the sun. My mom flew in."

While the Fire Country actress ultimately had to "quit" the Netflix series she was set to star in, her initial surgery did result in a diagnosis of stage 1 endometriosis—a condition in which uterine lining tissue grows outside of the uterus—along with polyps.

Following the unexpected complication during her surgery, Rambin confronted the surgeon when she woke up from her procedure.

"The first thing I said to her, through my anesthesia, was, 'Is this your fault?'" she recalled in a follow-up TikTok video. "She said, 'Yes, it's my fault.' I said, 'Aren’t you a specialist?' And she said, 'I'm human.'"

"I'm pissed, obviously, but I understand it was a 'risk' like anything," Rambin admitted. "It was a one-in-a-million 'freak accident.'"

And as she continues to recover in the hospital, the All My Children star, who has been giving updates on social media, is feeling mixed emotions.

"Why yes, I am up and walking after this crazy traumatic surgery," Rambin shared in a July 12 TikTok of her walking down a hospital hallway in a gown. "They told me that’s the best thing for healing, and I'm a f--king bad b---h. I’m not gonna sit there and cry, although I have been crying. I think the reality is starting to hit me of what happened."

But despite all she's gone through, the Gone actress—who married event photographer Dawson Smith last July—is ultimately staying positive.

"The road to recovery will be long but I am determined to heal & start my family," she wrote in a July 12 Instagram post, which featured photos and videos of her in the hospital. "Oh how I love being a woman."
