Symptoms that are common after having thoracic spine surgery include dural damage, septic spondylitis, and spinal cord injury, but the symptoms that occur vary depending on the individual. 1. Dura mater injury: During the surgery, drugs in the body need to be removed, which may damage the dural sac, resulting in the exposure of cerebrospinal fluid causing headaches. 2. Septic spinal meningitis: Infection occurs after spinal surgery, allowing bacteria to enter the body, resulting in septic conjunctivitis, which in severe cases can lead to sepsis and even life-threatening conditions. 3. Spinal cord injury: After the surgery, if the recovery work is not carried out in time, permanent damage to the spinal cord may occur, resulting in paraplegia. Therefore, after the surgery, reasonable postoperative recovery work should be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors to minimize the emergence of complications.
