Abstract

Object: the aim ofthis study is to analyse a clinical presentations of Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS). The main reasons of FBSS and clinical findings corresponding to it have been studied. Materials and methods: outcomes of 40 patients with back pain, who were underwent earlier the surgery, and pain recurrence following the operation from 3 months to 4 years were analyzed by us retrospectively. Results: the main clinical presentation of FBSS were: a facet-joint syndrome in 70 %, reflex myotonic and myofascial syndromes in 61,6 %, instability in the same level or the adjacent segment in 33,3 %. Resurgery was performed apropos lumbar disc herniation recurrence, adjacent segment disease, epidural post-operative fibrosis, instability in the same level and/or the adjacent segment etc. Conclusion: revelation of the morphological reason of the pain syndrome and orthopedic and neurologic disturbances is a ground of correct treatment tactics. It may be conservative treatment of postoperative pain syndrome after microdiscectomy or a second surgery.
