The Spinal surgeon: Should be advising you about these, when he is discussing the surgery with you. Generally there are risks with any surgery, which are possibilities, including infection, nerve damage, bleeding, need for blood transfusions, wound healing probs, ; those specific to the spine, make sure you discuss it with your surgeon. Good luck.
