A member asked:
Is a pregnancy okay years after scoliosis spinal fusion surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Delivery after scoli: Depends on the levels of your fusion. Presumably you were treated in adolescence. Most adolescent fusions stop around t12 or l1. Lumbar curves may require fusion to L4 or l5. Neither would narrow the birth canal. The lower fusion may predispose to some back pain during pregnancy due to loss of lumbar flexibility and inability to compensate for that baby out front.
