Hello,
Spinal surgery sometimes cause weakness of nerves supplying your genitals and can cause erectile dysfunction. But keep in mind that it won’t happen in all surgeries and most of the patients are normal.
If you experience any problem, you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
