I certainly would want a thorough evaluation by a spine clinic or a specialist at a department of spine surgery at a university hospital near you before embarking on any scoliosis corrective surgery at your age. Of course these procedures are done& are successful on people in their 80s. Discussion of the risk/ benefit is crucial here vs physical therapy & nonsurgical treatment.
