What is the success rate of scoliosis spine surgery for adults?

Hello,

At 21 years of age, scoliosis treatment depends on the severity of the spinal curve and how much it is affecting the patient. Surgery may be considered for a severe curve, significant progression, persistent pain, spinal imbalance, or certain neurological or functional problems. Mild or moderate scoliosis may not require surgery.

For a proper assessment, a spine surgeon usually reviews standing full-spine X-rays to measure the Cobb angle. MRI may also be advised in selected cases, especially when there are neurological symptoms or other concerns.

If you are considering treatment at Ganga Hospital, please carry :

• Previous spine X-rays/MRI and their reports

• Previous doctor's prescriptions and consultation records

• Details of pain, weakness, numbness or difficulty walking

• Any previous treatment or physiotherapy records

• Current medicines, if any

The spine surgeon can then explain whether surgery is required, what type of procedure may be suitable, the expected recovery, and the possible risks.

If you share the city and state of the Ganga Hospital you mean, along with the patient's latest X-ray/report details, we can guide you about the next steps and help connect you with suitable doctors and partner hospitals.

Wishing you and your family good health always.
Warm regards,
