Torticollis surgery is generally not a major surgery.

From the complexity of surgery, torticollis surgery is usually relatively straightforward, mainly to adjust or release the local tissue structure that causes torticollis, etc., the surgical steps and technical requirements are not as difficult as large complex surgery. Secondly, in terms of risks, although any surgery has certain risks, the risks of torticollis surgery are usually controllable. Compared with large surgery involving important organs and large blood vessels, the possibility of serious complications is relatively low. Moreover, from the perspective of postoperative recovery, most patients can improve torticollis symptoms over a period of time, and the recovery process is relatively smooth. There is no need to face a long and complicated recovery process and many uncertainties after major surgery. However, this does not mean that torticollis surgery can be underestimated. Detailed evaluation and preparation are still required before surgery to ensure that patients are suitable for surgery; The surgery also requires careful operation to achieve better treatment results.

In addition, close observation and careful care are also required after surgery to promote smooth recovery of patients. Doctors will formulate personalized surgical plans according to the specific conditions of patients to ensure the safety and effectiveness of surgery.
