What can i expect from scoliosis surgery?

Good outcome: While no surgery is guaranteed, a careful evaluation of the two planes of curvature(coronal and saggital) to effect the best, safe correction. It is a bit painful i nthe first few days, but rather quickly settles down.The key is preoperative planning, and intraoperative monitoring of the spinal cord function.

Varies: It varies based upon the surgical technique used. You would definitely want to make sure you have your questions answered by your surgeon before you have your surgery. Thank you for your question.
