Dear Friends,
A couple of questions as I contemplate surgery:
1) My surgeon said I would be intubated during surgery because of some lung issues. Do you know if being intubated is common with spinal fusion? If you had it during surgery, did you have any particular problems with it?
2) I will have osteotomies in my fusion. Again, is this common? In Wolpert's book, he references them only in connection with revision surgery.
Just wondering here. . . .
Brenda
