15% failure rate is not low, it's a dice roll essentially on par with Russian roulette.

Is a 15% chance of death during the surgery lower than the 100% chance of death if she doesn't get the surgery?

Yes. Yes it is. It is THE lowest possible chance of death she had among her remaining options.

It's the lowest, but it's not low. If it was 95% chance of being unsuccessful, it would still be the lowest.
