Scoliosis surgery/Deformity correction

What it is:

coliosis surgery and spinal deformity correction are procedures designed to realign and stabilize the spine in patients with abnormal curvatures such as scoliosis, kyphosis, or flatback syndrome. These surgeries often involve spinal fusion, osteotomy, or growing rods depending on the patient’s age and severity of the deformity.

Symptoms:

Include uneven posture, chronic back pain, numbness or tingling, difficulty walking or standing upright, and in severe cases, breathing or digestive issues due to spinal compression

Treatment:

Options range from physical therapy and bracing for mild cases to surgical correction for progressive or severe deformities. Surgical techniques may include:

• Spinal fusion using rods, screws, and bone grafts
• Osteotomy or vertebral resection for rigid curves
• Growing rods or tethering for children to allow continued growth
• Minimally invasive robotic-guided surgery for precision and reduced recovery time.
