I have just been diagnosed with a dermoid tumor about 11cm. large. I am having a laparotomy to have it removed and someone told me that getting this proceedure will cause me to HAVE to have a c-section in the future when i decide to get pregnant. I want to have a normal vaginal birth, not a c-section. Is this true?

Thanks!

Wouldn't that be similar to a VBAC vaginal birth after a cesarean?
