Scoliosis & Spinal Deformity Correction

Scoliosis correction and deformity surgery is a major spinal procedure designed to straighten an abnormal curvature of the spine (scoliosis) or excessive forward rounding (kyphosis). The goal is to realign the spine, stabilize the structural framework, and halt the progression of the deformity, preventing severe cardiac or pulmonary complications that can arise when a severely curved spine compresses the chest cavity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the surgery make my spine completely perfectly straight?

No. The goal of surgery is to safely achieve a significant correction (often 50% to 80% improvement) and prevent the curve from getting worse. Forcing a spine to be 100% straight carries a high risk of stretching and permanently damaging the spinal cord. Most patients achieve excellent cosmetic and functional results even without a perfectly straight spine.

Will I grow taller after scoliosis surgery?

Yes. Because a curved spine is essentially "folded," straightening it directly increases a patient's height. Depending on the severity of the curve, patients often wake up 1 to 3 inches taller after surgery.

How long does it take to recover?

Scoliosis correction is a major surgery. Hospital stays average 3 to 7 days. Most adolescents can return to school in 3 to 4 weeks. Strict restrictions on bending, lifting, and twisting remain in place for 3 to 6Scoliosis correction and deformity surgery involves realigning and stabilizing a curved or abnormally shaped spine. The primary goal is to halt the progression of the deformity, reduce pain, restore balance, and prevent long-term cardiopulmonary complications.
