Everyone here saying that there would be someone else to stitch you up, I think what OP meant was more of a "everyone in the room vanishes and you're left alone" type of question.

Yep.
And the result would be varying very much depending on the surgery.
Open heart surgery? You're done.
Knee surgery? A good amount of pain, but maybe fine.
.
There would be a resident that could close you up, but maybe skip the discount surgeon with his degree from Hollywood Upstairs Medical School.
The knee bone's connected to the .. something. The something's connected to the .. red thing. The red thing's connected to my .. wristwatch. Uh-oh
Google and YouTube are your friend lol
They certainly are! Meet Dr. Nick Riviera, who received his medical degree from the Hollywood Upstairs Medical College:

I think a more serious and probable question is what would happen if your doctor had a heart attack during surgery. Doesn't take a degree from Hollywood Upstairs Medical School for that to happen!
There would be some other doctor in the hospital that would sew you back up, that surgeon would go to jail for a while, you'd be on the news, win massive lawsuit.
The OR staff will make sure someone else comes in to close you up. Surgeries aren’t done alone by the surgeon.
The anesthesiologist will not just let you wake up like that.
Unless you’re having a backyard surgery done by some wack job, this will never happen.
You know, there are actually a lot of lousy surgeons out there. Usually not at major hospitals, but at very small, rural, or poor hospitals. These hospitals struggle to attract talent, and these surgeons have usually left better positions in disgrace. It’s a match made in hell.
Then chances are good I probably won't have any worries?
