Potential Risks
- Pseudarthrosis, or failure of the vertebrae to fuse properly, which can cause continued pain and may require revision surgery.
- Adjacent segment disease, where the spinal segments above or below the fusion experience accelerated degeneration due to altered biomechanics.
- Nerve damage during surgery, which can result in weakness, numbness, or rarely, bowel or bladder dysfunction depending on the level of the spine involved.
- Infection at the surgical site or deep around the implanted hardware, which may require prolonged antibiotic treatment or additional surgery.
- Hardware complications such as screw loosening, rod breakage, or implant migration, which may cause pain and require revision procedures.
- Blood clots in the legs or lungs following surgery, routinely prevented with blood thinners, compression stockings, and early mobilization.
Things to Check Before Booking
- ✓Ensure your surgeon is a fellowship-trained spine specialist with a strong record of performing the specific type of fusion procedure recommended for your condition.
- ✓Ask how many spinal levels will be fused and what the implications are for your long-term spinal flexibility and adjacent segment health.
- ✓Inquire about whether a minimally invasive approach is an option, as it can reduce blood loss, hospital stay, and post-operative pain in appropriate cases.
- ✓Check whether bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) or other bone graft substitutes will be used and understand their benefits and associated risks.
- ✓Ask about the hospital's outcomes data for spinal fusion, including fusion rates, complication rates, and patient-reported outcomes.
- ✓Confirm a comprehensive rehabilitation plan is in place for after surgery, including guidance on activity restrictions and return to work or physical activity.
