Abstract

Laporan kasus ini menggambarkan seorang pasien wanita berusia 66 tahun yang didiagnosis menderita Fail Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) setelah dua kali operasi tulang belakang lumbal. Pasien awalnya mengalami nyeri punggung bawah kronis yang menjalar ke kedua kaki, yang menetap meskipun telah dilakukan intervensi bedah. Pencitraan resonansi magnetik (MRI) pra-bedah menunjukkan stenosis kanal pada L3-4 dan L5-S1, dengan spondylolisthesis pada L4-5. Operasi pertama melibatkan dekompresi saluran akar dan penempatan sangkar lumbal pada L4-5 dan L5-S1, diikuti dengan operasi kedua yang terdiri dari laminektomi dan fiksasi internal lumbal posterior dengan batang dan sekrup. Meskipun telah dilakukan prosedur ini, pasien terus mengalami rasa sakit yang parah dan berkurangnya mobilitas. Gejala pasca operasi yang sedang berlangsung menghadirkan tantangan dalam menangani kasus ini, terutama mengingat usia pasien dan penyebab utama FBSS. Penilaian neurologis menunjukkan berkurangnya refleks dan defisit sensorik, yang mengindikasikan kompresi akar saraf. Evaluasi diagnostik mengesampingkan kegagalan perangkat keras dan kompresi sisa, sehingga mengkonfirmasikan diagnosis FBSS. Pengelolaan FBSS masih merupakan tantangan dan memerlukan pendekatan yang disesuaikan. Kasus ini menekankan pentingnya perencanaan pra-bedah individual, pemantauan ketat pasca operasi, dan menggabungkan berbagai pilihan pengobatan. Intervensi di masa depan, seperti stimulasi sumsum tulang belakang, dapat memberikan bantuan, menyoroti perlunya penelitian berkelanjutan untuk meningkatkan hasil pada pasien FBSS.
