Scoliosis Surgery

Spine Surgeon in Ahmedabad

What is Scoliosis Surgery?

Scoliosis surgery is a corrective spinal procedure performed to straighten abnormal sideways curvature of the spine and prevent further progression. The surgery aims to improve spinal alignment, balance, posture, and quality of life, especially in cases where the curve is severe or worsening.
It is usually recommended when non-surgical treatments like bracing or physiotherapy are not effective.

What is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves abnormally in an “S” or “C” shape, commonly diagnosed in children, adolescents, or adults. If left untreated, severe scoliosis can lead to chronic pain, breathing problems, and postural deformity.

When is Scoliosis Surgery Recommended?

Surgery may be advised when:
  • Spinal curve exceeds 40–50 degrees
  • Curve continues to worsen
  • Severe back pain is present
  • Breathing or lung function is affected
  • Posture and appearance are significantly impacted
  • Neurological symptoms develop

Types of Scoliosis Treated

  • Idiopathic scoliosis
  • Congenital scoliosis
  • Neuromuscular scoliosis
  • Degenerative (adult) scoliosis

Diagnosis

Before planning surgery, the doctor may recommend:
  • Physical and neurological examination
  • X-rays (standing and bending views)
  • MRI scan
  • CT scan (if required)
  • Pulmonary function tests (in severe cases)

Scoliosis Surgery Procedure

The most common surgical method is spinal fusion.
  • Metal rods, screws, and hooks are used to correct spinal curvature
  • Bone grafts help fuse the vertebrae into a solid structure
  • The spine is stabilized in a corrected position
  • Surgery may be performed using posterior, anterior, or combined approaches
Advanced techniques allow for precise correction with minimal complications.

Benefits of Scoliosis Surgery

  • Hospital stay: usually 5–7 days
  • Pain management and wound care
  • Gradual mobilization with physiotherapy
  • Restricted activities during initial healing
  • Return to school/work in a few weeks
  • Full recovery may take several months
Regular follow-ups ensure proper healing and spinal alignment.

Risks and Complications

Possible risks include:
  • Infection
  • Blood loss
  • Nerve injury
  • Implant-related complications
  • Reduced spinal flexibility
Our experienced spine surgeons follow strict safety protocols to minimize risks.

Why Choose Us for Scoliosis Surgery?

  • Highly experienced spine specialists
  • Advanced surgical and imaging facilities
  • Personalized treatment planning
  • Minimally invasive options (where suitable)
  • Comprehensive post-surgical rehabilitation

Life After Scoliosis Surgery

Most patients return to normal daily activities, sports, and work with improved posture and reduced pain. Long-term outcomes are highly positive when surgery is performed at the right time.
A narrowing of the spinal canal typically doesn’t cause symptoms unless it progresses to a point where it compresses the spinal cord, spinal nerves, or the cauda equina, which is a dense bundle of nerve roots that begins where the spinal cord ends in the upper lumbar region. When compression happens, intermittent or chronic pain, numbness, or weakness may arise in the low back, buttocks, and legs. Symptoms are usually mild or absent while sitting or sleeping. While walking, symptoms generally increase and a cramping sensation with a tired or heavy feeling in the low back, buttocks, or upper thighs may occur.
Lumbar stenosis is most frequently caused by degenerative changes (osteoarthritis) in the lower back. After years of normal wear and tear, cushioning between bones in the spine may break down, allowing bones to wear against each other. At these sites, the body produces growths called bone spurs that may narrow the spinal canal, causing pressure on the spinal nerves, or cauda equina. Occasionally, large disc herniations and spinal tumors can narrow the spinal canal enough to cause compression.
Lumbar stenosis may or may not require treatment depending on whether symptoms include pain or disability. Non-surgical treatments may include modifying activities to reduce stress on the spine, physical therapy, medications or injections to reduce pain and inflammation, or wearing a brace. In severe cases or those that are progressively worsening, surgery or Canal Stenosis Treatment in Ahmedabad may be performed to correct the condition.
