Revision and Reconstructive Spine Surgery
Spine surgery is a complex task that involves both benefits and risks. Revision and reconstructive spine surgery increases the complexity because of complications such as scar tissue and compromised bone and tissue quality. Healing is often not as effective with subsequent surgeries and the likelihood of infection is also increased. Dr. Francis
