Bladder surgery when I was 6.

Two years ago - microdiscectomy on L5-S1...when neurosurgeon opend the area, found complications and surgery took 4 hours instead of 1. Ruptured disc material had fused to the spinal cord and scar tissue had already started forming. Neurosurgeon had to carefully remove the tissue and disc material from the cord (extremely delicate surgery at that point because of paralysis risk). I'm ok now but prob will never have full back flexibility.
