Thirty of the 50 cases had undergone two or more previous surgeries to the affected hip.

Our results demonstrated that low admission FIM score, female sex, "only the femoral" as compared to "only the acetabular" revision, 2 or more previous surgeries in the lower extremities and redo revision predicted longer LOS.
A score of 9-14 points lower in admission FIM, female sex, revision of only the femoral component, 2 or more previous surgeries in the lower extremities and redo revision are all independently associated with 4-6 days longer LOS.
Both patients had had surgery for renal cancer and they had a history of local recurrence of renal cancer and two or more previous abdominal surgeries.
Between January 2004 and September 2007, 100 patients underwent instrumented spinal fusion because of persistent back and/or leg pain lasting more than 1 year despite of one or more previous spine surgeries.
Our review of 228 dual-mobility cups inserted as THA revision components indicates a relatively low frequency of re-revisions due to dislocation within 2 years, although all the patients in our cohort were revised due to dislocation of the previous THA, and 25% of all the patients had undergone 1 or more previous revision surgeries.
Women had more often comorbid chronic medical conditions (44% vs. 35%) and received on average more previous disc surgeries (0.29 vs. 0.19).
Inclusion criteria were instrumented lumbosacral spinal fusion, one or more previous lumbosacral spine surgeries, and chronic low-back pain with or without leg pain, lasting more than 1 year after the index surgery (Table 1).
Non-ICUAC patients more often had underlying co-morbidities, whereas ICUAC candidemia patients had more often undergone previous surgery and all had central venous lines.
