Incredibly routine surgery these days. I know many who had it and no issues. Most common side effect is an infection.
I had two retinal detachment surgeries; right eye done in June 2002 and the left eye done May 2004. I have scleral buckles around both eyes. Aside from a lot of floaters, it saved my eyesight.
You will be good.
