Revision Spine Surgery

A Second Chance for Spinal Relief

Revision spine surgery is a specialized procedure performed to address complications or unsatisfactory outcomes from a previous spine surgery. We provide expert care to correct issues, alleviate pain, and restore functionality, ensuring the best possible outcome for our patients.

What is Revision Spine Surgery?

While most spine surgeries are successful, some patients may experience persistent symptoms, new complications, or structural issues over time. Revision spine surgery is designed to:

• Relieve ongoing pain or discomfort.
• Correct hardware problems or improper fusions.
• Address complications like infections or scar tissue formation.
• Improve spinal alignment and stability.

Common Reasons for Revision Spine Surgery

Patients may require revision surgery for a variety of reasons, including:

• Failed Fusion: Incomplete healing or lack of proper bone growth at the fusion site.
• Hardware Failure: Issues with screws, rods, or other implants used in the initial surgery.
• Adjacent Segment Disease: Degeneration of spinal segments next to the treated area.
• Recurring Disc Herniation: Re-injury or continued pressure on spinal nerves.
• Infections or Scar Tissue: Complications that cause pain or hinder movement.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Revision Surgery

You might need revision spine surgery if you experience:

• Persistent or worsening back pain.
• Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the limbs.
• Loss of mobility or difficulty performing daily activities.
• Signs of infection, such as fever, swelling, or drainage at the surgical site.

How is Revision Spine Surgery Diagnosed?

Accurate diagnosis is critical for successful revision surgery. Our approach includes:

• Detailed Medical History: Reviewing the previous procedure and identifying potential issues.
• Imaging Studies: Using X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs to assess hardware placement and spinal health.
• Physical Examination: Evaluating symptoms, range of motion, and nerve function.

Treatment Options for Revision Spine Surgery

The type of revision surgery depends on the underlying issue. Common procedures include:

• Hardware Removal or Replacement: Correcting or updating spinal implants.
• Re-fusion Surgery: Stabilizing the spine if the initial fusion failed.
• Decompression Procedures: Relieving pressure on nerves due to scar tissue or re-herniation.
• Correction of Alignment Issues: Addressing deformities or instability caused by improper healing.
