The aim of this study was to investigate whether psychological abnormalities were present in patients still complaining of low back pain after more than one operation. It was found that these patients were more psychiatrically disturbed and socially disabled than a matched control group whose back pain responded to one operation. These results suggest that patients requiring assessment for a possible second laminectomy should also be psychiatrically examined
