Most spinal pathologies can be cured with conservative treatment, and surgery is the primary means of treatment for spine surgeons. Spine surgery is risky because it involves the human spinal cord and other nerve tissues, and only a spine surgeon who has undergone rigorous and systematic training can minimize the risks of surgery. Nevertheless, patients should have a proper understanding of their surgery: most patients can achieve a satisfactory state of health through surgery, but some patients can only achieve a curb on disease progression through surgery. Some patients have to be treated with two surgeries (e.g. cervical spine, two surgeries in front and behind). In addition, the cost of surgery is high and patients and families should be well prepared financially. Smoking should be stopped at least 2 weeks before and 6 weeks after surgery (nicotine seriously affects the healing of bone graft). Stop taking non-selective NSAlDs such as Fotarine and Fenbendazole 2 weeks before surgery, and do not take ginseng and other supplements (such drugs affect intraoperative hemostasis.). Also avoid constipation and eat more vegetables and other fiber-rich foods.
