Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
1. Failure of decompression
2. Failure of fusion
3. Failure of instrumentation
Failure of Decompression group
it can be sub-classified into 2 subgroups
1. Immediate post operative no improvement of
symptoms these are the results from
2. Wrong pre-operative diagnosis • Tumor
• Infection
• Metabolic disorder
• Discogenic pain
• Decompression was performed too late, more than 6 months for disc
sequestration
• Psychosocial problem
3. Technical Error • Wrong level
• Inadequate decompression
• Failure to recognize spinal stenosis as part of disc herniation
• Conjoined nerve root
A. Early recurrence of symptoms (within weeks)
- Infection
- Meningoceal cyst
B. Intermediate (within weeks to months)
- Recurrent disc prolapse
- Battered root, Perineural scarring
- Arachnoiditis
C. Long term (within months or years)
- Recurrent stenosis from new bone formation or disc collapse
- Adjacent level failure
- Instability from disc excision or lumbar decompression

5 patients were complaint for dysestheis.
2 patients were spontaneous recovery in 2
months.
2 patients ( 9% ) were considered to failure
and agreed to have an additional surgery
within 6 months.
