Post-laminectomy Syndrome

Patients undergo spine surgery to correct abnormal anatomical problems causing neck, arm, back, or leg symptoms. Many of these patients do well with these surgeries. Still, some continue to have persistent pain despite adequate healing of the surgical site. This condition is referred to as post-laminectomy syndrome and is also called "failed back surgery".

Symptoms of Post-laminectomy Syndrome

The symptoms of post-laminectomy syndrome vary but include low back or neck pain and pain in the arms and legs.

The following symptoms may also occur:

  • The original pain felt before back surgery is still present
  • Pain radiating in one or both legs
  • A dull aching feeling in the back
  • Sharp, stabbing pains in the back
