What the procedure involves.
Scoliosis correction surgery straightens and stabilizes abnormal spinal curvatures using instrumentation (rods, screws, and hooks) with fusion. China's pediatric and adult spine centers handle complex curves exceeding 50 degrees with 3D navigation and neuromonitoring for safety. Several hospitals in China are recognized internationally for high-volume scoliosis programs with excellent correction rates.
Step by step.
Comprehensive Assessment
Full-spine X-rays, MRI, CT with 3D reconstruction, pulmonary function tests, and surgical planning
Surgical Correction
Posterior spinal fusion with pedicle screw instrumentation, rod contouring, and gradual curve correction under neuromonitoring
ICU and Ward Recovery
Intensive monitoring, pain management, early upright mobilization, and wound care
Long-term Rehabilitation
Activity restrictions, physiotherapy for core strength, and serial imaging to confirm fusion and maintenance of correction
- Significant cosmetic improvement and posture correction
- Prevents curve progression and respiratory compromise
- Advanced navigation reduces neurological risk
- High-volume centers achieve 60-80% curve correction
- Neurological injury (paralysis) — rare with monitoring
- Infection requiring hardware removal
- Rod breakage or loss of correction
- Blood loss requiring transfusion
