The risks associated with Spinal Fusion Surgery are real and worth understanding before you decide to proceed — that's not a reason to avoid the procedure, but it's part of making an informed choice. Wound-site infection is the most commonly discussed risk; it occurs in a small minority of cases and responds well to antibiotic treatment when identified early. Temporary swelling and post-operative discomfort are expected and managed as part of the care plan. Deep vein thrombosis is a risk in any procedure involving immobility; compression stockings and early mobilization are standard preventive measures at hospitals in Delhi. Anesthesia-related reactions are screened for during your pre-operative assessment. Patients with diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, or clotting disorders require additional pre-operative planning to minimize their specific risk profile.
