There are risks associated with any surgical intervention – with a minimally invasive endoscopic surgery there are mostly only minor risks, like e.g. hematoma or wound pain that will subside spontaneously after a couple of days.

More than 4500 endoscopic surgeries have been carried out at the APEX SPINE CENTER. Up to today there were no serious complications. Possible risks known from the conventional “open surgeries” like persistent neuronal dysfunction, scarring or adhesions, postoperative pain, instability of the spine, infections, hemorrhage and pareses can be obviated by minimally invasive surgery.
