Abstract:

Experts, whether involved in acute management or comprehensive rehabilitation management of person with Spinal Cord Injury, often come across patients with inappropriate stabilization. They then face the dilemma of whether to suggest revision surgery or supervised neglect accepting a poor stabilization. Going in for revision surgery interrupts and delays the comprehensive rehabilitation whereas accepting a poor stabilization carrier the inherent risks of a probable failed stabilization. If the team decides to go in for a revision surgery, the dilemma is again the timing of surgery, whether to go in for immediate surgery or wait till the patient is medically stable and well mobilized. The revision surgeries also pose a challenge and often require strategies which differ from primary surgeries.
The workshop will discuss the dilemma of revision surgery or supervised neglect accepting the poor stabilization, the timing of surgery (if required) and the challenges of revision surgeries.
The consumer perspective will also be discussed.
