March 2024 wife had L3 TO L4 Removal of 3 interspinious spacers hardware, decompression L2 TO S1 and intertransverse fusion L4 to L5 and in April 20024 had Revision decompression L2 TO S1. Now she has
sondylolisthesis(NEVER HAD BEFORE) Surgeon who did operation now says I can fix that now you need oblique operation No thanks!!! Now she hasSPONDYLOLISTHEIS and no surgeon will give a second opinion on failed operation. Started with moderate back and leg pain pre operation now has unbearable pain 24/7. Sometimes better to live with moderate pain rather than risk an operation at hand of a surgeon. You can always find surgeon who wants to operate but finding one who declines is difficult

I am so very sorry that you both are going through this. I do appreciate the information you have given.

Do we expect any surgeon to take responsibility for a misstep in a surgery? No! Just chalk up the lack of success to the good, old, "Failed Back Syndrome". What a cop out. Heaven help us.
