  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) is a common complication following spinal surgery.
  • Persistent or recurrent pain after surgery significantly impacts patient quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a comprehensive review of FBSS.
  • To elucidate the etiology, clinical presentation, radiological findings, and differential diagnoses of FBSS.
  • To outline the management goals for patients with FBSS.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of etiology, clinical presentation, radiological findings, differential diagnosis, and management of FBSS.
  • Synthesis of current evidence and expert consensus.

  • Etiology of FBSS is multifactorial, including persistent nerve compression, instability, infection, and psychological factors.
  • Clinical presentation varies widely, often involving neuropathic pain, sensory disturbances, and motor deficits.
  • Radiological assessment is crucial for identifying structural abnormalities, though findings may not always correlate with symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis requires a multidisciplinary approach, integrating clinical, radiological, and psychosocial assessments.
  • Management strategies should be individualized, focusing on pain reduction, functional improvement, and psychological support.
  • Further research is needed to optimize diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols for FBSS.
