Most people have successful outcomes from back surgery, but sometimes pain persists after the expected recovery period should be over. This is called failed back surgery syndrome. If it happens to you, your doctor may recommend revision surgery, a type of back surgery that’s done to correct the original procedure.

When you’ve had back surgery, but experience disappointing results, you need to be evaluated by experts in the field of spinal care to see if you need revision surgery or if a different back condition has developed. You’ll find New Jersey’s top spine specialists at Premier Brain & Spine, the most advanced spine surgery and neurosurgery centers.
