Failed Back Surgery Syndrome Patient Story: Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS), also referred to by doctors as “post-spinal surgery syndrome”, is a term used to describe patients who continue to experience pain after spine surgery. Failed back surgery happens so frequently it’s currently defined as a “syndrome.” Traditional open back surgery by nature is unpredictable at best, and most sources claim that Failed Back Surgery Syndrome is seen in nearly up to 60% of individuals that have previously undergone this type of surgery. Over half of Bonati Spine Institute guests have had a Failed Back Surgery at another facility. Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) is a generalized term used to describe the condition of a patient whose initial spinal surgery was unsuccessful. As a result of the unsuccessful spine surgery, a patient may still be dealing with the same pain as before or the surgery has led to more significant problems and worsening pain. Patients with an unspecific diagnosis of “back pain” who, after having had one or more operations and interventions in the spine, yet are still in pain, may be at the point where they are told that no further operation is feasible and that the surgeon has “done everything he or she can.” This is where The Bonati Spine Institute parts ways with other spine surgical facilities. Our success rate in alleviating pain from previously Failed Back Surgery is unmatched by any other surgery center. Deborah’s chronic pain led her to having spinal fusion at a facility near her home.
