UNDERSTANDING THE CAUSES OF YOUR NEED FOR COMPLEX REVISION SPINE SURGERY

You may need revision spinal surgery if you experience any of the following symptoms after spine surgery:

Chronic pain in the affected area (above or below the fusion site)
New pain that was not present before the surgery
Signs of nerve pain, including radiating pain that travels into the limbs
Slow healing or redness at the surgical site
You have moved or broken spinal instrumentation that threatens to damage nerve and/or vascular structures.
You have a spinal infection.

If this sounds like you, and milder treatment options have failed to deliver results, you may need complex revision spine surgery.

If your first procedure didn’t work, undergoing a second surgical procedure probably doesn’t sound exciting. However, advances in spine surgery tools and technology have paved the way for minimally invasive surgical techniques.

As a last resort, your doctor will suggest complex spinal revisions for a failed back surgery. Candidates for a procedure include patients suffering from chronic pain or joint stiffness. In addition, interested patients will have tried at least six months of mild treatments before choosing surgery. One of our doctors will do a physical examinations as well as a combination of various x-rays to get the best full picture.

Depending on the severity of your case, your treatment options vary. Consult with your doctor in order to review the best plan of action.
