Revision spine surgery is a reparative surgery done to correct the issues of initial spine surgery. It outweighs the complications of unsuccessful spine procedure. It eliminates the disadvantages of living with pain, by offering relief from debilitating pain and avoids the need for further surgeries.
Every surgery carries some risk. As a complicated surgery, spine surgery is also associated with certain risks. Revision surgery is even more complex procedure that can result in scar tissues, compromised bone and tissue quality.
Spine surgery can help you relieve pain and enhance your overall quality of life. Revision spine surgery is recommended for the people who are experiencing the symptoms even after the spine surgery. The following are the most common reasons for considering spine surgery.
Patients suffering from one or the following conditions are considered to be an ideal candidate for revision spine surgery.
During your initial consultation, Dr Abhinav Srivastava will first try to figure out the root cause for the failure of the surgery. He will also assess your symptoms and order fewer imaging tests if he feels necessary. Depending on the results of the diagnostic tests, he will determine the treatment option that has the highest likelihood of safety.
Dr Abhinav Srivastava recommends the nonsurgical treatment options for treating the symptoms of failed surgery. If all the nonsurgical treatments have proven inappropriate, then he will consider a revision spine surgery to reduce your pain and other complications such as infections, and instability.
However, the decision to undergo revision spine surgery depends on the diagnosis of failed spine surgery. As a revision surgery, it involves several complications. So, Dr Abhinav Srivastava will conduct a thorough diagnosis and discusses all the postsurgical complications. He will also suggest some post-surgical instructions which you need to follow for the successful recovery following the procedure.
You will be given anaesthesia to make you unconscious before the surgery, and type of anaesthesia depends upon on your overall health conditions. During the procedure, Dr Abhinav Srivastava will make a small incision outlining the previous surgical incisions.
All the previously placed instrumentations will be removed and replaced with new bone grafts to promote bone formation. In some instances, a bone growth stimulator may also be implanted to promote quicker bone healing.
