Revision spine surgery refers to a surgical procedure performed to address persistent or recurrent symptoms following a previous spine surgery. It is often necessary when the initial surgery fails to achieve the desired outcome or when new issues arise in the spine that require further intervention. Revision spine surgery can encompass a wide range of procedures, depending on the specific issues being addressed and the patient’s individual needs.
Common types of revision spine surgery include revision decompression, revision fusion, removal or replacement of hardware, correction of spinal deformities, or treatment of adjacent segment disease.
