Spinal surgery, though beneficial for various spinal conditions, carries inherent risks of complications affecting patient outcomes and healthcare costs. Understanding and managing these complications is critical. This retrospective observational study involved 30 patients who underwent spinal surgery. Data on patient demographics, surgical details and postoperative complications were analyzed. Statistical tests were used to identify potential predictors of complications. The study identified a high prevalence of comorbidities, an equal distribution of minimally invasive and open surgical techniques and a notable rate of postoperative complications such as wound infections. The study highlighted the importance of preoperative planning and postoperative care. Effective management of comorbidities, careful surgical planning and enhanced postoperative care are crucial in reducing complications in spinal surgery. Our findings align with current literature, emphasizing the need for comprehensive approaches to improve surgical outcomes.
