Traditional spinal fusion procedures involve general anesthesia, a three- to a four-day hospital stay, and intravenous pain medication. They last around four hours. Patients who undergo awake spine surgery usually recover in half the time and leave the hospital in less than 24 hours.

An average spinal operation lasts two to three hours.

The surgeon does surgery around the spinal cord and nerve roots during spine surgery. These structures may sustain an injury, perhaps damage severe enough to cause paralysis. However, the likelihood of paralysis following back surgery is extremely low—about 1 in 10,000.

Some orthopedic surgeons have been treating spinal disorders for several decades. On the other hand, neurosurgeons specialize in treating spinal cord, brain, and nerve disorders, whereas orthopedists tackle musculoskeletal issues and may have additional training in treating the spine.

Spinal surgery is performed near the neurological system so spinal surgery can have higher risks than other forms of surgery. The most dangerous of these dangers are infections and paralysis. The healing process can take a while, even after a successful operation.
