Spinal surgery complications
Nerve root damage; post operative neuroma; dural tear; leaking cerebro-spinal fluid; post-operative infection; discitis; cauda equina syndrome; deep venous thrombosis (a common side-effect); post-operative hypotension; peripheral nerve injury. Nerve roots can be damaged during open discectomy, decompression for stenosis, spinal fusion, or by subcutaneous procedures such as epidural or cortisone injections. A single nerve root injury can be transient or permanent. The latter is very troublesome, while multiple root injury is disastrous. An S1 root injury may cause complete foot drop, while damage to the S2-4 nerve roots may affect the bladder, bowel, or sexual organs. In all cases of nerve root damage there will be sensory or motor symptoms.
