What are the hazards and effects of one-time lumbar puncture needle surgery
Dec 15, 2022
The chances of something going wrong are very small.
The lumbar puncture is in the L4 and L5 space, and there is no spinal cord here, so it will never hurt it. There is only the cauda equina nerve here, and it is extremely difficult for the puncture needle to damage the nerve. A small amount of cerebrospinal fluid will be released after the puncture, which will not cause any impact. Therefore, please accept it at ease and cooperate actively.
