A member asked:
Should elderly woman having posterior cervical laminectomy and fusion be sharing a bed with dogs post-op or does this increase risk of infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a good idea: Would recommend addressing postoperative care directly with surgical team. The risk for infection would be increased in above circumstances.
