Back Talk | A Comprehensive Review and Practical

Approach to Spinal Diagnosis and Treatment

One challenge to physicians is ongoing back pain following spine surgery. This session will provide attendees a better understanding of failed back syndrome / post-laminectomy syndrome.

During this continuing medical education session during the Back Talk spine symposium, speakers will discuss the contributing factors and causes of failed back syndrome. Additionally, the medical and interventional treatments for failed back syndrome will be reviewed – their indications and expected outcomes. One treatment that will be discussed is spinal cord stimulators. Indications for salvageable spine surgery and the outcome predictors will be reviewed.

Faculty for this continuing medical education session includes minimally invasive spine specialist Jonathan Gentile, MD, and spine surgeon Thomas Reilly, MD, FACS.
