Severe kyphoscoliosis, doctor told me i'm probably going to need surgery in the future.what are the chances of ending paralytic due to the operation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less likely: The surgery done for kyphoscioiliosis is to relieve the pressure on nerves - it relieves the pain and prevents paralysis .In some cases there may be bone growth at surgical site may cause some problem .Not every body gets problem
