MALDEN, Mass., Dec. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons perform surgeries around the spinal cord and nerves, which are highly delicate structures. Often patients present with disabling pain, numbness, weakness, and, in severe cases, paralysis and loss of bowel and bladder functions. Many patients are willing to brave the risks of a surgery over living with their disabling spine conditions. Patients tend to know the risks of spine surgery from online research or speaking to other patients who had spine surgery. The spine surgeon and staff then sit down with the patient and further explain the risks before the patient signs a legal consent document, without which the surgeon cannot perform the surgery. The risks include loosening or breakage of screws or other hardware, nerve injuries, spinal cord injury, weakness, numbness, paralysis, and even death.
