Scoliosis Surgery – Advanced Spinal Correction at Vidarbha Institute of Spine Surgery
Understanding Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways, forming an “S” or “C” shape instead of remaining straight. It can occur at any age but is most commonly detected during adolescence. While mild curves may not cause major problems, severe curvatures can lead to pain, breathing difficulty, and visible deformity.
Common Types of Scoliosis:
Idiopathic Scoliosis: The most common type, often seen in adolescents with no known cause.
Congenital Scoliosis: Caused by spinal malformations present at birth.
Neuromuscular Scoliosis: Associated with conditions like cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or spinal muscular atrophy.
Degenerative Scoliosis: Develops in adults due to spinal wear-and-tear or arthritis.
At Vidarbha Institute of Spine Surgery, our spine specialists provide a thorough assessment using advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to determine the type, severity, and progression of the curve before recommending the best treatment plan.
When Is Scoliosis Surgery Needed?
Scoliosis surgery is considered when:
The spinal curve exceeds 45–50 degrees and continues to progress.
There is persistent back pain not relieved by conservative measures.
The deformity causes postural imbalance or cosmetic concerns.
Breathing or cardiac function is affected due to severe spinal deformity.
Our experienced spine surgeons recommend surgery only after carefully evaluating all non-surgical options such as bracing, physiotherapy, and pain management.
Advanced Scoliosis Surgery at Vidarbha Institute of Spine Surgery
Our institute is equipped with the latest spine correction technology, enabling precise, minimally invasive, and effective surgical results.
1. Spinal Fusion Surgery
This is the most common surgical procedure for scoliosis correction. The surgeon straightens the spine as much as safely possible and then fuses the affected vertebrae using bone grafts, rods, and screws.
Benefits:
Long-term spinal stability
Significant correction of deformity
Relief from pain and pressure
2. Minimally Invasive Scoliosis Surgery (MISS)
For selected patients, minimally invasive techniques are used to reduce muscle damage, blood loss, and recovery time.
Benefits:
Smaller incisions
Faster recovery
Minimal postoperative pain
3. Growth-Modulation Surgery (For Children & Adolescents)
In young patients whose bones are still developing, special growth-friendly implants are used to guide spine growth gradually and correct the curve over time.
Benefits:
Preserves spinal growth potential
Reduces the need for repeated surgeries
4. Vertebral Column Resection (VCR)
In cases of severe or rigid deformities, this advanced procedure involves removing part of the vertebra to allow for greater spinal realignment.
Benefits:
Major correction for complex deformities
Restores symmetry and balance
