What are the risks of scoliosis correction surgery?

Scoliosis correction surgery involves the risk of anesthesia, nerve damage, vascular damage, infection, and cerebrospinal fluid leakage.

1.

Anesthesia is required before surgery, and there is a possibility of anesthesia accidents.

2. Nerve damage

may occur during surgery, resulting in neurological sequelae such as lower limb numbness or even paralysis.

3. Vascular damage

When correcting scoliosis, there may be damage to the blood vessels around the spine, resulting in massive bleeding and even hemorrhagic shock.

4. Infection and cerebrospinal fluid leakage

. Open surgery for scoliosis increases the risk of infection and cerebrospinal fluid leakage.

Consult a professional if necessary. Also, any surgery has certain risks and decisions need to be made under the guidance of a doctor.
