While laminectomy can provide relief from certain spinal conditions, it’s important to be aware of the potential risks and complications associated with the procedure. Some of these risks include:
Infection: Surgical procedures carry the risk of infection at the incision site or within the spinal canal.
Nerve Damage: Given the intricate network of nerves in the spinal region, there is a chance of unintentional nerve damage during surgery, which can lead to persistent pain or other sensory issues.
Scar Tissue Formation: Surgery can result in the formation of scar tissue, potentially contributing to discomfort or complications.
Limited Mobility During Recovery: Recovery from laminectomy surgery often involves a period of limited mobility and activity, which can impact daily life and routines.
