What Happens During a Spine Scoliosis Surgery Procedure?

spine scoliosis surgery is a procedure designed to correct abnormal spinal curvature and stabilize the spine using medical implants. It is typically recommended for patients with severe scoliosis (curves greater than 40-50 degrees) that cause pain, breathing difficulties, or mobility limitations. The most common surgical method is spinal fusion, where surgeons straighten the spine as much as possible and fuse the affected vertebrae together to prevent further curvature. Before the procedure, patients undergo thorough medical evaluations, including X-rays, MRIs, and physical assessments, to determine the best surgical approach. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring the patient is completely unconscious and pain-free.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision along the back (or in some cases, the side or front of the body) to access the spine. The muscles are carefully moved aside, and metal rods, screws, and hooks are attached to the vertebrae to help straighten the spine.
A bone graft is placed between the vertebrae to encourage fusion, allowing the bones to grow together over time for permanent stabilization. Once the spine is secured, the incision is closed, and the patient is transferred to a recovery room for monitoring. The hospital stay typically lasts 4 to 7 days, with initial recovery taking 4 to 6 weeks. Full recovery, including returning to normal activities and sports, can take 6 to 12 months, depending on the patient’s overall health and response to rehabilitation. Physical therapy, follow-up visits, and a gradual return to activities are essential for long-term success. With advancements in surgical techniques and post-operative care, spine scoliosis surgery has become safer and more effective in improving spinal alignment and quality of life.
