Scoliosis surgery has evolved significantly, with advancements enhancing traditional methods and introducing minimally invasive techniques. This overview explores various types of scoliosis surgery, their advantages, and the innovative scoliosis screening products from Forethought.
Common 側湾症手術 Types
Spinal Fusion Surgery
Spinal fusion surgery is a well-established method for treating scoliosis. It involves fusing vertebrae using bone grafts, which may be sourced from the patient’s body or protein substitutes. The healing process typically spans about three months, and smoking cessation is critical for optimal recovery.

Osteotomy
Osteotomy involves cutting and removing affected bones to correct scoliotic curves. This procedure can be performed via anterior or posterior approaches and is suitable for rigid curves in adults, large curves in children, or following prior fusion surgeries.
Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)
VATS is a minimally invasive procedure for thoracic spinal curvature, requiring small chest incisions and the deflation of one lung. It uses cameras and scopes to guide the surgery, resulting in smaller scars and quicker recovery.

Thoracoplasty
Thoracoplasty aims to reduce rib hump prominence by partially removing ribs. It is often combined with other corrective surgeries and may require chest tubes post-operation.

Hemivertebrae Excision
Hemivertebrae excision addresses wedge-shaped vertebral bodies causing kyphosis or scoliosis. This surgery often involves an anterior-posterior or posterior approach and may require implanting rods and screws, with braces worn afterward.

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Modern minimally invasive techniques, such as endoscopic-assisted and percutaneous endoscopic surgery, offer reduced surgical trauma, shorter recovery times, and fewer complications. These methods use smaller incisions and advanced tools to enhance precision.

Advantages of Minimally Invasive Surgery
Reduced Trauma
Minimally invasive surgery involves smaller incisions, which reduces trauma and bleeding, leading to a quicker recovery.

Increased Precision
High-tech tools and microscopy used in minimally invasive surgery allow for more accurate operations, reducing risks and improving outcomes.
Faster Recovery
Due to smaller incisions, patients generally experience a faster return to normal activities, minimizing postoperative inconvenience.

Limitations
While minimally invasive surgery has many benefits, it may not be suitable for all patients. Some complex cases may require traditional open surgery.
