Abstract

Revision surgery for lumbar stenosis is associated with longer surgical times, greater technical challenges, and a higher rate for potential complication rates than primary surgery. However, in well-selected patients, clinical success can be achieved. Identification of symptomatic residual or recurrent areas of stenosis or instability is paramount. Adhering to basic principles of revision surgery is crucial to its safe and effective execution. However, the surgeries are often far from “basic,” requiring the surgeon to be adept at a wide range of conventional and novel surgical techniques.
