How successful is scoliosis surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Missing data: Scoliosis varies in intensity from very mild to extreme. Surgical approaches will also vary with the case. You are welcome to start over & include such things as location & degrees of curve, presence/absence of rotary horizontal component, age & health of the patient and proposed surgical approach. With these specifics a site reviewer can provide a better response.
