Scoliosis is a spinal disorder characterized by an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, often forming an “S” or “C” shape. This condition can develop during adolescence or be present from birth. The severity of the curvature can vary, potentially impacting posture, spinal alignment, and, in severe cases, overall bodily function.

Understanding Surgical Scoliosis Treatments
Surgical intervention is often recommended for severe scoliosis where non-surgical methods have not provided sufficient improvement or when the curvature poses significant health risks. Our goal is to correct the spinal deformity, stabilize the spine, and enhance the patient’s quality of life. Scoliosis surgery and approaches include:
Spinal Fusion Scoliosis Surgery
This is the most common surgical procedure for scoliosis. It involves fusing two or more vertebrae together using bone grafts and implants to create a solid and stable spine. This procedure corrects the curvature and prevents it from worsening. Rods and screws (including use of adjustable rods in children) are used to help realign the spine and hold it in place while the fusion heals.
Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT) Surgery
VBT is an advanced less invasive technique compared to traditional spinal fusion for treating scoliosis. With VBT instead of permanently fusing parts of the spine, the goal is to correct spinal curvature while preserving spinal flexibility using strategically placed screws on the convex part of the spine connected to. When tension is applied to the tether, the spine is gently pulled into a straighter position and encouraged the spine to grow in a more aligned manner over time.
