Complex Back Closure

Overview

Choosing a specialist to help with your back or spine problem is a difficult task. Spine surgery can be extremely challenging, especially in those who have had previous back operations, been treated with radiation, have complex tumors, spina bifida, or other risk factors for complications. While many spine centers focus just on fixing problems with the bones and nerves, it is important to remember that the extensive reconstruction performed by the spine specialist can be undone if the skin breaks down or becomes infected.
