How to Help Avoid Failed Back Surgery Syndrome

Since Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) might be caused by several different complications associated with open back surgery, the only way you can truly avoid FBSS is by avoiding open back surgery. This, however, would be a difficult decision to make if surgery is the only treatment available for your back pain, as it leaves you with the choice of either living with pain indefinitely, or having surgery that may or may not improve your condition.

FBSS – a painful, chronic and medically complex condition – can result from any traditional back and neck surgeries including:

• Open back and neck surgery
• Spinal fusion surgery
• Artificial disc replacements

Spine surgery is typically designed to decompress a pinched nerve root, or to stabilize a painful joint. Whether traditional surgery is used to treat anatomical defects, injuries, or natural degeneration due to age or overuse, occasionally surgery will fail to alleviate pain. In some cases, traditional surgery can even cause new and different back and neck pain. The term FBSS encompasses the continued problems and pain associated with failed traditional back and neck surgeries.

To help patients avoid FBSS, Laser Spine Institute has developed several state-of-the-art medical procedures which:

• Are minimally invasive
• Do not require large incisions or hardware insertion
• Are completed without the use of general anesthesia, just the use of local anesthesia with deep IV sedation
