Is operation of backbone safe? How much dangerous is it So many people told me that operations are very dangerous and no guarantee you would become good after operation. ?

Brief Answer:
I will answer your questions one by one

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir

Q1 :
Is operation of backbone safe?
A1 :
All Surgeries under General Anaesthesia carry a small risk
Same risk is present for operation of Backbone too

Q2 :
How much dangerous is it
A2 :
Quantification does not work here
Assume a surgery is 50 percent effective. That means If you belong to the 50 percent for whom the surgery is effective, it is 100 percent effective for you and if you belong to the other group, it is 0 percent effective for you

Same Way,
If you belong to the minuscule group who developed complications, it is 100 percent risk. If you belong to majority with good healing, it is 0 percent

Q3 :
So many people told me that operations are very dangerous and no guarantee you would become good after operation. ?
A3 :
No Surgery can give you 100 percent guarantee
Same applies to this surgery too

Hope you found the answer helpful.
