Failure to Advise Medical Risks Of Spinal Surgery

Spinal surgery is a potentially very risky procedure which can have devastating effects if the surgery does not go to plan.  It is therefore highly important that your doctor explains to you exactly what your medical problem is, what the options are to treat it and what the risks are for each procedure.  This is so that you can make an informed decision as to how to best move forward.  However this sometimes does not always happen and patients are left with the lasting effects of a surgical procedure, whose possible risks were not communicated properly by the medical professional.
