If she keeps her ovaries she can technically retrieve eggs and use a surrogate (although if her vagina is sewn shut, I'm not sure how - I'm not sure what a removal of the vagina entails tbh). I wouldn't put it past someone like this to outsource their fertility in this way when they realize what they've done.

I'm pretty sure egg retrieval from egg donation is done laproscopically. Or she could bank eggs pre-surgery. But I doubt she will. If I was a surgeon I would stay far, far away from this person, this just screams mental issues who will eventually turn around and sue.

Nope, it's done vaginally. A long tube with a needle at the end is put through the top of the vaginal wall first on one side, then on the other, to reach the two ovaries and aspirate out the follicular fluid containing the eggs. Official name is transvaginal oocyte collection. https://youtu.be/TC9UaNtpweE

TY for the info.
