I am assuming that the vaginal cuff has been repaired and the infection has cleared. Without offering an opinion as to ay negligence, because that is an issue which would need to be addressed by a physician, if you have fully recovered it is likely that the cost of obtaining experts would make a medical negligence claim financially unfeasible.
