NeuroSpine Institute
Dr. Masson is establishing a special clinic for Failed Back or Surgery Syndrome. Please contact us and request review for this special clinic. It does not require a referral, but does require recent Mri's, all x-rays and a copy of the Operative Report.
Dr. Masson's surgical protocol, iMAS, was originally developed to treat the intricacies of failed lumbar spine surgery. Classic, or traditional, spine surgery treatment methods allows for mid-line decompression via laminectomy, and sometimes reconstruction and stabilization, with failure of decompression of the lateral recess, of the posterior hardware and of the fusion. Often times, in these complex situations, the simple conclusion is that the patient has 'scar tissue' or that they must live with the pain. While this may be true, in actuality, in the absence of major nerve damage, many if not most of these patients benefit from either removal of hardware, extension of the decompression to include the lateral recess, or foramen and occasionally repair of a failed fusion. When these strategies fail, spinal cord stimulation or morphine pumps can frequently improve considerably the extent of the pain, and reduce the dependency on oral narcotics.
Using the iMAS protocol, all phases of re-operation can be done using microsurgery, image guidance and minimally invasive techniques and most cases can be done with less than an hour in surgery and a two day hospital stay. The average incision length is less than an inch and no blood needs to be donated.
Because of the number of people suffering from Failed Back Syndrome in the United States, each of these cases needs to be reviewed, without charge. Please call our office to arrange for a data review and a local appointment, or a Skype conference if from outside Central Florida.
