Spine & Scoliosis Surgery focuses on the diagnosis, correction, and treatment of spinal deformities and disorders that affect the backbone’s structure, alignment, and function. The spine plays a crucial role in supporting the body, protecting the spinal cord, and enabling movement and balance.
Conditions such as scoliosis (sideways curvature of the spine), kyphosis (forward rounding), or spinal instability can cause pain, posture problems, and even breathing or nerve-related issues.
Modern spine surgery combines advanced imaging, computer-assisted navigation, and minimally invasive techniques to provide precise correction, faster recovery, and improved spinal stability. With expert surgical planning and rehabilitation, patients can regain proper posture, mobility, and quality of life.
The primary goal of Spine & Scoliosis Surgery is to stabilize the spine, correct abnormal curvature, relieve pain, and prevent further progression of deformity.
Scoliosis and other spinal disorders can be congenital (present at birth), neuromuscular (caused by nerve/muscle conditions), or idiopathic (unknown cause). In adults, degenerative changes, trauma, or infections can also lead to spinal deformities and chronic pain.
Common Indications for Spine & Scoliosis Surgery include:
Scoliosis (abnormal lateral curvature of the spine)
Kyphosis or Lordosis (forward or backward spinal curvature)
Spinal Stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
Herniated or Degenerative Disc Disease
Spinal Fractures or Instability
Spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebra)
Nerve compression causing pain, numbness, or weakness
Spine deformities due to trauma, tumors, or infections
When conservative measures such as physiotherapy, medication, or bracing fail to control symptoms or stop progression, surgical correction is considered.
Spine & Scoliosis Surgery involves precise correction and stabilization of the spine using advanced surgical methods. The procedure is planned individually for each patient after thorough clinical and imaging evaluation.
Preoperative Evaluation:
A detailed physical examination and imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans are performed to determine the type, location, and severity of the spinal deformity. A customized surgical plan is created using digital simulation tools.
Anesthesia & Surgical Access:
The surgery is done under general anesthesia. Depending on the condition, the surgeon may access the spine from the back (posterior), front (anterior), or both sides.
Correction of Deformity:
The abnormal spinal curvature is corrected through specialized techniques such as:
Spinal Fusion: Joining two or more vertebrae together using bone grafts or implants to stabilize and straighten the spine.
Instrumentation: Use of rods, screws, hooks, or plates to hold the spine in the correct position during healing.
Osteotomy: Precise cutting and realignment of bones in severe deformities.
Minimally Invasive Approaches: Smaller incisions, less tissue damage, and faster recovery.
Post-Surgery Recovery:
After surgery, patients are closely monitored for neurological function and wound healing. Physical therapy begins gradually to restore flexibility, posture, and muscle strength. Most patients can resume light activities within weeks and full recovery within a few months.
