There are risks associated with any surgery, and cervical spine surgery is no exception, and the risks of cervical spine surgery are higher compared to the lumbar spine. The risk of minimally invasive cervical spine surgery is probably higher than the risk of open surgery, why? Minimally invasive cervical spine surgery is performed through a very small canal, about 7mm in diameter, and then a series of procedures are performed inside the canal to expose the nerve and remove the bone or nucleus pulposus tissue that is compressing the nerve. This process inevitably causes irritation and harassment to the nerve, and if the nerve is very compressed, numbness, weakness, urinary and fecal dysfunction, etc. may occur after the nerve is irritated. Therefore, minimally invasive cervical spine surgery is also risky, so any surgery should be performed in a regular hospital, and strict indications for surgery and fine operation are needed to minimize the risk of minimally invasive cervical spine surgery.
