Potential Rrisks for Scoliosis Surgery

Scoliosis surgery may be the last choice for scoliosis treatment, and is only recommended for these whose scoliosis curves are so serious that it may potentially cause severe deformity or organs damages. It is necessary for patients to understand the potential risks for scoliosis surgery before they start a surgery.
1. Paraplegia
The most serious risk for scoliosis surgery is paraplegia. It is uncommon for these cases in clinic (about 0.01%~ 0.1%), but is irreversible, so it’s really big deal for patients. In order to control this potential risk, the spinal cord can be monitored during surgery through one of two methods.
2. Excessive Blood Loss
Excessive blood loss is another potential risks for scoliosis surgery. Doctors perform an operation on the patients’ back, and a lot of muscle would striped and exposed during the surgery. There may be lots of blood loss during this process, so in order to avoid serious consequence, doctor may ask patients to donate some blood and give it back to patients. Usually it can be controlled with high techniques and experienced surgeons.
3. Other potential risks for scoliosis surgery
The rods breaking or the hooks or screws dislodging (although with modern instrumentation systems, this type of hardware failure is quite uncommon)
Infection (less than 1%)
Failure of the spine to fuse (about 1%-5%)
Continued progression of the curve after surgery
The above are the potential risks for scoliosis surgery, patients are more recommended for a non-surgical scoliosis treatment, which, as conservative therapy, can avoid many risks and get a better prognosis.
