Spinal tuberculosis surgery usually takes 3 months to recover, and if nerve damage occurs, it may take about two years to recover, and some patients may also be left with permanent dysfunction.
1. The fastest recovery time: spinal tuberculosis is mostly secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis, spinal tuberculosis due to more obvious bone destruction, so some patients need to undergo surgical treatment to remove the dead bone, at the same time may also need to carry out the bone filling, found more timely patients in the surgical treatment can be the fastest recovery in three months or so, but at the same time also need to carry out the anti-tuberculosis treatment.
2. Nerve damage: spinal tuberculosis will cause obvious bone destruction, so it will cause the stability of the spine to decrease and lead to spinal deformity, resulting in spinal cord nerve or cauda equina nerve damage. If the patient has obvious nerve damage symptoms before surgery, even after surgery, the nerves need at least two years to fully recover, and some serious patients may be left with permanent dysfunctions.
If spinal tuberculosis is diagnosed, early and standardized treatment is recommended to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
