Failed Back Syndrome Solutions

Failed back syndrome (failed back surgery syndrome) is not a syndrome at all. It is actually a general term used to refer to a spinal condition where a previous back surgery has not resulted in a relief of pain or other symptoms as it was hoped. Dr. Sina Rajamand is a Reno neurosurgeon who offers failed back syndrome (FBSS) treatment.

Even after using the most advanced diagnostic tools and scans available, a neurosurgeon may not be able to exactly pinpoint the location of damage to the spine or if there are multiple areas of damage. Therefore, one repair may not be adequate to completely relieve a painful condition. Other possible complications that may result in FBSS include:

Fusion surgery that causes the adjacent vertebrae to degenerate faster, causing similar pain, known as transfer lesions
Nerve damage that occurs during decompression surgery
Decompression surgery that doesn’t completely resolve the compression issue on the spine
Epidural fibrosis, or scar tissue, that forms around nerve roots and causes pain
Undiagnosed secondary pain generators elsewhere in the spine

It is important to note that many cases of FBSS occur years after the initial back surgery due to continued degeneration. Although this is not technically a “failed back surgery,” such a condition falls under the general category of FBSS.
