Failed Back Surgical Syndrome

Additionally, Failed back surgical syndrome is a term that is often used to describe the condition of patients who have not had a successful result with back surgery or spine surgery. Unfortunately, back surgery or spine surgery cannot literally cut out a patient’s pain. Moreover, It is only able to change anatomy. Even with the best surgeon and for the best indications, spine surgery is no more than 95% predictive of a successful result.

Treatment options include medications, physical therapy, caudal adhesiolysis and/or spinal cord stimulation (neuromodulation).

Caudal adhesiolysis is considered if post surgical scar tissue is the suspected source of pain after a spinal surgery. Furthermore, This procedure is done by inserting a catheter in the region of the spinal scar tissue. Then catheter manipulation and intermittent hypertonic saline injections are done to “break up” the scar tissue.

Furthermore, Spinal cord stimulation is a procedure where electrodes are placed through an epidural needle into the epidural space over the spinal cord. Moreover, The electrodes are then used to transmit a signal to the spinal cord that blocks pain and replaces the pain with a more pleasant feeling.
