Revision Spine Surgery

Corrective surgery to address complications from previous spine procedures

What is Revision Spine Surgery?

Revision spine surgery is performed to correct or improve outcomes from prior spine operations that have failed or caused new issues. It may involve removing or replacing hardware, decompressing nerves, or stabilizing the spine further. This complex procedure requires careful planning to address scar tissue and altered anatomy.

Signs You May Benefit from Revision Spine Surgery

Persistent or new pain after surgery

Instability or hardware failure

Neurological deficits like numbness

Infection or non-union of fusion

What Causes It?

Common Causes

  • Failed fusion
  • Hardware malfunction

Contributing Factors

  • Adjacent segment disease
  • Infection
  • Improper healing

Should You See a Spine Surgeon?

If you experience ongoing pain, numbness, or weakness after spine surgery that persists beyond the expected recovery period, consult a specialist. Immediate evaluation is recommended if symptoms worsen or new neurological issues arise, such as difficulty walking or loss of sensation, indicating potential complications requiring prompt attention.
