Why is it that I am more afraid of dying this time?

I have had many surgeries in the past and have never had one complication. This surgery is suppose to be under 3 hours long so the anethesia is less than what I had with a hysterectomy. Then, why, is the fear of death alot greater with this operation? I mean if I were having an orthopedic procedure, death would of never crossed my mind.
