Hi Asit,
I have mentioned a list of conservative management in my earlier post. If all options for conservative management have failed, then you can think about taking a decision on surgery.
As with any other operations, disc operations are also bound to have its complications as it involves spine as organ to be operated upon.
Variations in technique exist between institutions, regions, and surgeons.
Bleeding intraoperatively can be copious and is almost invariably due to malpositioning. Infections, usually skin infections, can occur. Increased neurologic deficit is usually mild and is due to excessive retraction of the root.
Hope this helps.
Bye.
