So this is a remote possibility. We cannot say we it never happens. Maybe in one percent of the spine surgeries or less than one percent of the spine surgeries it can happen especially when the spine involved spine is a cervical region of the thoracic spine so there we get spinal cord. In lumbar region we don't have a spinal cord we have just narrow roots going down from the spinal cord above which ops at the lower border of L1 from there it is only the narrow roots which are coming out. So their total paralysis is unlikely but above that level above L1-L2 level so the total paralysis can happen. It can happen because of some injury during spine surgery or sometimes even without any injury. Once we release this spinal cord it gets widened up and in the process of widening up it loses its own blood supply because the swelling of the spinal cord blocks the vessels to the spinal cord and that can produce damage to the spinal cord and produce paralysis. Even when it happens after considerable time with the treatment this can be reversed in most of the cases but unfortunately in very few cases this cannot be reversed and they remain permanently paralyzed. But fortunately for us this percentage is very less and less than one percent. #spine #spinesurgeon #backpain #paralysis
