What are the pros and cons of the Spinal Fusion surgery?
The doctor will use a number of diagnostic tests to
determine the exact cause or source of the back pain in the patient using
x-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computerized tomography (CT) scans.
The benefits of a spinal fusion surgery are that it provides
relief from a number of spinal disorders, such as:
- Spinal tumor
- Infection in the spinal column
- Vertebra fracture
- Scoliosis
- Spinal stenosis
- Spondylolisthesis
- Degenerative disk disease
As is seen in any major type of surgery, there are chances
of the patient facing certain complications in some cases. These are:
- Infection – To counter the occurrence of an infection in the operated region the doctor will prescribe antibiotics before and after the surgery.
- Bleeding – The amount of bleeding is not excessive.
- Pain – There are chances of pain felt in the graft site but the doctor can prescribe certain painkillers to alleviate this pain.
- Nerve damage – There are very rare chances of the patient suffering from nerve damage because of the surgery but this condition is relieved with the passage of time naturally.
- Blood clots – There is a small risk of blood clots developing in the legs due to prolonged inactivity.
