Scoliosis is an abnormal curve in the spine. The most common symptom of scoliosis is curvature of the spine. Surgery for scoliosis depends on a number of issues, including your age, the extent of curvature in your back, your health history and your history with various medications and treatments Scoliosis is only life threatening if a child younger than five years old has severe spinal deformation. Most spine specialists agree that after age five, only a scoliosis curve measuring more than 100 degrees would be dangerous to your child's heart. It also gets recommended before children are done growing — as young as age 14.

3 Goals of Scoliosis Surgery in India

Scoliosis surgery typically has the following goals:

1. Stop the curve’s progression. Scoliosis requires surgery when deformity is continuing to worsen.


2. Reduce the deformity. Depending on how much flexibility is still in the spine, scoliosis surgery can often de-rotate the abnormal spinal twisting in addition to correcting the lateral curve by about 50% to 70%. By these changes a person can stand up straighter and reduce the rib hump in the back.


3. Maintain trunk balance. Dr Kulkarni considers overall adjust by endeavoring to main as a significant part of the spine's natural front/back (lordosis/kyphosis) arch while likewise keeping the hips and legs as even as could reasonably be expected.

Surgery choices in India

There are 3 general categories of scoliosis surgery:

1. Fusion.
   Modern surgical techniques have enabled spinal fusion surgeries to achieve better curvature correction and faster recovery times than in the past benefits of spinal fusion surgery is that it has a long-term record of safety and efficacy for treating scoliosis.


2. Growing systems (to delay fusion). Rods are anchored to the spine to help correct/maintain the spine’s curvature while the child grows.
   the growing systems method helps to guide the spine as it grows, preventing the curve from worsening as the spine matures and eventually becomes ready for a fusion if needed.


3. Fusionless. These methods employ growth modulation on the spine similar to what has been done in the past to treat unequal leg heights in growing children. Comparatively, fusionless surgery has the potential benefit of retaining more spinal mobility. However, this is a newer approach and long-term data about the risks and benefits are not yet available.

Scoliosis surgery today, by far is the most commonly performed surgery is a spinal fusion.
