Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) refers to a condition where a patient continues to experience persistent pain or develops new neurological symptoms after undergoing one or more spine surgeries. This can occur due to incomplete nerve decompression, recurrent disc herniation, excessive scar tissue formation, or a failure of the bones to fuse properly. Diagnosing the exact cause of the ongoing pain requires a comprehensive evaluation and advanced imaging studies.
Because addressing FBSS is highly complex and often requires intricate revision procedures, it is critical to consult a specialist. If conservative management fails, an expert in Orthopedic Surgery, such as Dr. Rolando Garcia, Jr., must carefully evaluate your case to determine if a corrective structural operation is strictly necessary to restabilize the spine and provide lasting relief.
