Posterior cervical spine surgery and minimally invasive lumbar surgery at the same time are generally not recommended. Cervical spine and lumbar spine are two different parts of the body, both of which are traumatized to a certain extent, and simultaneous surgery on both may affect the patient’s postoperative recovery, so it is recommended to perform the surgeries separately.
Posterior cervical spine surgery can enlarge the cervical spinal canal, relieve the compression of the spinal canal on the spinal cord, and improve blood circulation. Due to the complex structure of the posterior cervical spine, it is usually more difficult to operate, and the minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery, although the incision is relatively small, it usually has a certain degree of trauma, and it requires a certain amount of time for rest and rehabilitation after the surgery, so simultaneous surgeries will increase the trauma of the surgery, which will not be conducive to the post-operative recovery.
If the cervical spine, lumbar spine problems, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital in time to receive standardized treatment, the doctor will be based on the patient’s specific situation, to develop appropriate surgical program, after the operation, we should pay attention to the wound cleaning and rehabilitation exercises, regular review.
