A revision spinal surgery occurs when a patient has already undergone some form of spine surgery. Typically, there is a three-month period of lingering pain after the initial surgery. However, when a patient reports persistent, recurrent, or new chronic pain, revision spine surgery may be recommended to help relieve the pain. Revision spinal surgery is usually performed on the cervical or lumbar spine areas. Patients may suffer from failed cervical disc replacement surgery in the cervical spine, whereas patients may suffer from failed fusion or pseudoarthrosis in the lumbar spine.Â
Deciding to undergo spine surgery isn’t easy. Before deciding on surgery, patients deal with a lot of pain and other difficult symptoms for a long time. Patients need to make informed decisions and weigh the risks and rewards of spine surgery before proceeding with the surgery. Unfortunately, not every spine surgery is successful. Understandably, the thought of having to undergo another surgery once again can be frustrating and disheartening for the patient. However, even with the best surgeons with the latest technological procedures, operating on the spine is a complex task that doesn’t have a 100% success rate.
