Spinal deformity correction is a surgical procedure performed to straighten and stabilize an abnormally curved or misaligned spine. It is most often done for conditions like scoliosis, kyphosis, spondylolisthesis, or spinal imbalance caused by degenerative diseases, trauma, or congenital defects. The goal is to restore spinal alignment, relieve pain, and improve posture and mobility.
Spinal deformity correction involves surgical realignment and stabilization of the spine using rods, screws, or fusion techniques. In some cases, minimally invasive or robotic-assisted methods are used for greater precision and faster recovery.
Surgery may be recommended if:
Yes. Modern spinal surgery uses intraoperative monitoring, advanced imaging, and robotic or navigation-assisted systems to enhance safety and precision. As with any major surgery, potential risks include infection, blood loss, or hardware issues, but these are rare and managed effectively in specialized centers.
Yes. Most patients resume normal daily activities and even low-impact exercises after full recovery. Avoiding heavy lifting and following prescribed physiotherapy ensures long-term success.
If you or a loved one has scoliosis, kyphosis, or spinal imbalance, the Orthopaedics & Spine Surgery Team at Baby Memorial Hospital (BMH) offers advanced spinal deformity correction surgeries using cutting-edge navigation and robotic technologies for safe, precise, and lasting results.
