Talk to your : Surgeon. He/she will review risks with you. Any surgery in spine can lead to neurological injuries, including paralysis, nerve injury, brain injury, spinal fluid risk, etc. Some more than others depending on surgery. Make sure what you are addressing is what is causing the symptoms. The worst thing is if you do surgery, have same symptoms, and have a complication.

Typically No: Generally cyst removal below s1 does not result in paralysis of lower extremities. However, you may lose some muscle strength in legs as some muscles get innervation from s2 (racepinephrine) if there was a complication. Neurosurgeons are trained to perform this surgery and generally have favorable outcomes with people not having any complications at all, even though the risk exists.

S2 (racepinephrine) Cyst: There is always a risk of nerve damage with any spinal surgery. Risks would include bleeding, infection, and nerve damage. Typically sacral cysts must be large or already causing nerve compression before a surgeon would operate. Because of the location of the cyst, i would be most concerned with damage to the s2 (racepinephrine) or lower sacral nerves. Paralysis is unlikely. Talk to your surgeon.
