Like any surgical procedure, Osteoid Osteoma surgery carries certain risks. These risks primarily include:
* Infection Risk: As with all surgical interventions, there is a possibility of infection developing in the surgical area.
* Difficulty Locating the Tumor: Due to the small size of Osteoid Osteoma tumors, there is a possibility that the tumor may not be precisely localized during open surgery.
* Bone Fracture Risk: If a large amount of bone tissue is removed along with the tumor, the risk of a postoperative bone fracture may increase. In cases of large bone defects, screws or plates may be inserted into the area to reduce the risk of fracture.
* Vascular and Nerve Damage Risk: If the tumor is located near vascular and nervous structures, there is a risk that these important structures may be damaged during surgery.
However, advanced technological surgical equipment used today significantly minimizes these risks. Particularly, O-Arm technology, which allows for the use of computed tomography (CT) in the operating room, reduces the potential risks in Osteoid Osteoma surgeries to nearly zero and enhances surgical safety.
