Typically, cervical spine surgery is quite safe. But as with any surgical procedure there are risks involved with cervical herniated disc surgery, risks you should be aware. In this video, leading cervical spine surgeon Dr. Seth Neubardt discusses the possible complications associated with cervical herniated disc surgery.
Although Dr. Neubardt has never had a patient in his hands die or suffer paralysis, everyone faces the risk of surgical complications. Risks such as nerve injury that could involve weakness and numbness in the arms are associated with cervical spine surgery, but those complications are very rare, he says. Surgeons take many safety measures to make sure you are protected during the procedure.
In any surgical procedure the risk of infection, reaction to medication, and problems with anesthesia are among potential complications to consider. Before any surgery, including cervical herniated disc surgery, discuss the risks and any concerns you may have with your surgeon.
Cervical herniated disc surgery is, overall, a very safe procedure and most patients go home the same day.
