Scoliosis and kyphosis spine surgery (Spine straightening)
Surgical treatment for scoliosis and kyphosis is performed when the spinal curvature progresses and causes pain or impaired posture, or when the patient has a pronounced cosmetic defect. The procedure aims to restore the correct spinal alignment, address cosmetic deformities, and stabilize the spine.
The surgery is classified according to its degree of complexity depending on the severity of the curvature, the extent of the intervention, and associated risk.
Before the operation, an extensive examination is carried out. This includes blood and urine tests, spinal MRI and CT scans, and an ECG. These tests evaluate the extent of the deformity, identify any contraindications, and determine the appropriate anesthesia. The patient is examined by a spine specialist, a general practitioner, and an anesthesiologist. If necessary, functional X-rays are performed. Based on the results, the extent of the correction and the type of metal structure are planned.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. First, the surgeon accesses the spine. Then, screws are inserted into the supporting vertebrae. Next, the curvature is corrected by fixing the spine in its new position with rods. Complex cases may require osteotomy, which involves removing parts of the bone to facilitate straightening. Complicated cases require a combined approach or multi-stage intervention. All actions are controlled using X-ray navigation and body function monitoring systems to ensure accurate and safe correction of the spinal axis.
The surgery requires advanced neurosurgical equipment, such as X-ray imaging, navigation systems, and internal organ function monitoring systems. We also use stabilization systems made of titanium from leading international manufacturers. These systems are designed for permanent installation and will keep your spine stable, even under heavy loads.
The early postoperative period is spent in the hospital. On the first day, the patient begins walking independently and receives pain relief. Typically, patients need to stay in the hospital for 5-6 days after surgery. During this time, physical therapists work with patients to speed up their recovery. Wearing a corset after surgery is not required. After discharge, a recovery program, physical and exercise therapy are prescribed. Physical activity is restricted for 3-6 months. Regular checkups and X-ray examinations are conducted to assess the stability of the structure and the progress of fusion.
