For patients with cervical spine osteophytes who undergo surgery, the following risks may exist: 1. There may be risks associated with anesthesia, because surgical treatment for such patients may require general anesthesia, and some patients may not be able to tolerate anesthesia due to easy allergies or serious underlying diseases. However, in this case, doctors and anesthesiologists will take a strict preoperative assessment of the patient to avoid this situation as much as possible. 2, there may be a risk of damage to blood vessels and nerves, there are very dense blood vessels and nerves around the cervical spine, and operation here may lead to damage to these structures. 3, there may be a risk of infection, for the operation here, if the principle of aseptic operation is not followed, it is very important to avoid the risk of infection. 4. If bone grafting or internal fixation treatment is performed, there may be a risk of localized fracture non-union.
