I feel so sorry for everyone involved, hamster and humans. I can only tell you what i would do which is my personal opinion because luckily i have not experienced an unfortunate, accidental situation like this.

I would opt for the surgery and ask the vet to operate asap. I hope that she gave you painrelief for your hamster in the meantime. Of course there is no guarantee for a successful outcome, there never is with any kind of medical treatment. A 7 week old Syrian is little but a Roborovski hamster is even smaller and can be operated on.

Maybe you could ask if there is a vet available who has experience in operating on small animals and feels more positive and confident about it.
