Spinal and spinal cord tumors are naturally prone to bleeding. To minimize the risk of bleeding during surgery, interventional radiology specialists may perform procedures such as embolization of vessels before the operation in some cases. As with all surgical interventions, there is a risk of infection in spinal and spinal cord tumor surgeries. Especially in widespread tumors, complications such as internal organ damage, injury to large vessels, or damage to the kidneys or urinary tracts may arise. Paralysis is one of the serious complications that can occur in spinal and spinal cord tumor surgeries. However, with the advanced technology and neuromonitoring techniques used in surgical operations today, this risk is significantly reduced. In cases where nerves are affected, functional disorders such as urinary or fecal incontinence may occur.
