Is incontinence permanent after spinal fushion surgery?

Not necessarily : Discuss with your surgeon. Even if spontaneous recovery is not possible referral to a urologist might help shed some light on further options. Good luck.

Not always: Urine leakage can occur after spinal surgery. The surgeon should be consulted. They may refer to a urologist or urogynecologist.
