I've seen some pretty amazing recoveries from very big and complex surgeries that should have a relatively low success rate. I've also seen bad outcomes from easy, minimally invasive surgeries. Outcomes are all over the place.

Spine surgery should be avoided if possible.. there is no magic bullet. However, for many off us, there are no other options.
