To be honest this actually is not really a syndrome. Failed back surgery syndrome commonly referred to as FBSS is a term applied to the thousands of people who have experienced failed back surgery.
Back surgery by nature is unpredictable at best, and most sources claim that the condition FBSS is seen in nearly 10 to 40 percent of individuals that have previously undergone open back surgery.
This high percentage of statistics for failed back surgery syndrome is tied into traditional back surgeries. With newer procedures that make use of laser technology and are much less invasive being provided, complications related to failed back surgery syndrome have been drastically reduced.

Medicine continues to move forward at a great rate and for many total freedom from their back pain is only a short period away.
