Postsrior: You might have adjacent disc disease or residual foraminal stenosis. Reop is feasible. Minimally invasive laminoforaminotomy posteriorly, arthroplasty or fusion anteriorly- all are available. See a spine surgeon.

Complex : This is a complex situation, and needs a detailed history of symptoms, aggravations, patterns, and a correlate with mri, and fine cut ct scan as well as flex ext x-rays. Finding the right solution is dependent on a high probability analysis of all of these factors, and requires someone, who does a lot of complex revision work.
