What Is Revision Spine Surgery?
When pain lingers or new problems develop after spinal surgery, it can feel confusing and even disheartening. Revision spine surgery at The Spine Center offers patients another opportunity for relief by addressing persistent pain, numbness, recurring disc herniation, and other issues that sometimes remain after a previous surgery. Revision spine surgery is often complex, which is why Dr. Saqib Siddiqui works closely with patients to understand their issues and identify sources of ongoing pain or instability. The overall goal is to restore function, rebuild strength, and give patients confidence that their spine is finally healing the way it should be. If you've gone through spinal surgery and are still experiencing problems, reach out to The Spine Center near Houston, Austin, and Dallas, TX or Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL to start building your personalized revision spine surgery plan.
How Is Revision Spine Surgery Performed?
Because revision surgery is tailored to problems that remain after a prior operation, the steps vary depending on what needs to be corrected. Dr. Siddiqui will start with a comprehensive evaluation that includes advanced imaging to pinpoint the exact cause of persistent pain or instability. Your revision surgery may involve removing or replacing hardware that has loosened, cleaning out scar tissue that is pressing on nerves, or correcting an incomplete fusion by placing new graft material and implants. In cases where alignment has shifted, screws and rods may be repositioned to support the spine properly. At The Spine Center, we perform revision spine surgery using minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to limit further disruption, but an open approach may be necessary for more complex procedures. At your consultation, Dr. Siddiqui will walk you through his planned approach and discuss what you can expect during the recovery process.
What Are the Benefits of Revision Spine Surgery?
The spine is a complex area to treat, and one surgery isn't always enough to address chronic problems like shooting pain or numbness. When these problems persist, Dr. Siddiqui at The Spine Center specializes in complex revision surgery to deliver the relief patients deserve. A few of the benefits of revision spine surgery include:
- Directly targets the specific reason a prior surgery did not fully resolve pain
- Relieves pressure on nerves caused by scar tissue, instability, or shifting hardware
- Restores spinal alignment to improve posture and everyday movement
- Strengthens an incomplete fusion, creating more dependable stability
- Offers a clear path forward for patients discouraged by past results
The Spine Center Reviews
Before I saw Dr. Siddiqui, I was almost at maximum pain medication. I was homebound most of the time the last 2 years. I spent a lot of my time in bed because lying down offered some relief from pain. My quality of life was gone. I had already tried injections, burning of nerves and physical therapy. Nothing helped. I was in dire need of surgery. My doctor reffered me to Dr. Siddiqui. What a Godsend he was! I had a Lumbar Laminectomy done. It was a day of surgery here at surgery center , I woke up from surgery pain free!! After years of deliberating pain, I thought nothing would help me. Boy, I was wrong! Dr. Siddiqui is very caring and professional. I was walking again, I got my life back. I also had to have neck surgery, which he performed about 6 weeks later. I am getting out in the world and enjoying life again! I thought I would never see this day. Thank you Dr. Siddiqui!
Dr. Siddiqui and his staff make every visit warm, comfortable and welcoming. I can't imagine going anywhere else for spine surgery.
Dr. Siddiqui is, without a doubt, one of the top doctors in his field. The Spine Center has all the latest technology and the staff really cares deeply about their patients. Recommended for sure!
My hunt for a great spine and back doctor is over! I was referred to Dr. Siddiqui for a spinal fusion procedure. They took care of me from beginning to end. True service!
