Scoliosis and Kyphosis Correction

Scoliosis and Kyphosis Correction: общие сведения

Scoliosis and kyphosis correction in India is used for selected patients with spinal deformity that is progressive, severe, painful, neurologically significant or causing functional or cardiopulmonary compromise. Treatment may be considered in adolescents with major progressive curves and in adults with rigid deformity, imbalance, pain or nerve compression. Surgery is not required for every spinal curve, so the decision depends on deformity type, age, skeletal maturity, symptoms and progression.

Assessment usually includes a specialist spine examination, standing full-length spinal X-rays and deformity measurements, with bending films, MRI or CT added when needed to evaluate flexibility, nerve structures or bony anatomy. Surgical planning may involve posterior or combined approaches, spinal instrumentation and fusion, osteotomies, vertebral column reconstruction or other techniques for complex rigid deformity. Intraoperative neuromonitoring is commonly used during major corrective procedures to help protect spinal cord and nerve function.

Potential risks include blood loss, infection, neurological injury, implant or fusion problems, residual imbalance and the need for further surgery. Recovery typically includes early mobilisation, pain control, physiotherapy and follow-up imaging.

Cost in India depends on the number of spinal levels treated, complexity of correction, implants, neuromonitoring, ICU or hospital stay and rehabilitation needs. Leading tertiary centres provide paediatric and adult spinal-deformity surgeons, neurosurgical support, advanced imaging and intensive-care facilities. Medical Help India can connect international patients with an appropriate healthcare partner to review standing X-rays, compare surgical plans and obtain an individual hospital estimate.
