Scoliosis and Kyphosis Correction Surgery in Hyderabad – Advanced Treatment by Expert Surgeons

Comprehensive Care for Scoliosis and Kyphosis Correction Surgery in Hyderabad

Scoliosis and kyphosis are spinal deformities that affect posture, movement, and overall health. If left untreated, they can cause pain, breathing difficulties, and reduced quality of life. Our expert spine surgeons in Hyderabad specialize in modern correction techniques, including minimally invasive surgery, bracing, and spinal fusion. Our goal is to restore spine alignment, relieve pain, and enhance overall well-being.

What are Scoliosis and Kyphosis?

Scoliosis: Scoliosis is a lateral (side-to-side) curvature of the spine, forming an "S" or "C" shape. It commonly develops during adolescence but can also occur in adults due to age-related degeneration.

Kyphosis: Kyphosis is an excessive forward rounding of the upper back, giving a "hunchback" appearance. While some degree of kyphosis is normal, an excessive curve can cause pain, discomfort, and posture issues.

Causes of Scoliosis and Kyphosis

Causes of Scoliosis

  • Idiopathic (Unknown Cause) – Most common form, often diagnosed in children or teens.
  • Congenital Scoliosis – Caused by abnormal vertebral development during birth.
  • Neuromuscular Scoliosis – Linked to neuromuscular conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy.
  • Degenerative Scoliosis – Occurs in older adults due to age-related wear and tear of spinal discs.

Causes of Kyphosis

  • Postural Kyphosis – Caused by poor posture, more common in teenagers.
  • Congenital Kyphosis – Occurs due to improper spinal development before birth.
  • Scheuermann's Kyphosis – Found in adolescents, caused by vertebrae that grow unevenly.
  • Age-Related Kyphosis – Seen in older adults due to spinal degeneration or osteoporosis.

Symptoms of Scoliosis and Kyphosis

Symptoms of Scoliosis

  • Uneven shoulders, hips, or waist
  • Leaning posture to one side
  • Rib prominence on one side of the back
  • Back pain or stiffness
  • Fatigue after prolonged standing or walking

Symptoms of Kyphosis

  • Rounded or "hunchback" posture
  • Back pain and stiffness
  • Breathing issues (in severe cases)
  • Fatigue or muscle strain in the back
  • Reduced range of motion in the spine

Diagnosis of Scoliosis and Kyphosis

Accurate diagnosis is key to effective treatment. Our specialists use the following methods:

  • Physical Examination – Observation of posture, shoulder, and hip alignment.
  • -rays – Identifies the degree and type of curvature in the spine.
  • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) – Detects underlying nerve or spinal cord issues.
  • CT Scan – Provides detailed cross-sectional images of the spine.

Treatment Options for Scoliosis and Kyphosis

Non-Surgical Treatments

  • Bracing – Used in growing children to prevent curve progression.
  • Physical Therapy – Strengthens back muscles, improves posture, and reduces pain.
  • Medications – Pain relievers may be prescribed to manage discomfort.

Surgical Treatments for Scoliosis and Kyphosis

If the curvature exceeds 40-50 degrees, surgery may be required to correct the alignment. The most common surgical methods include:

  • Spinal Fusion Surgery – Vertebrae are fused using bone grafts, screws, and rods to prevent further curve progression.
  • Vertebral Column Resection (VCR) – In severe cases, parts of the vertebrae are removed to improve spinal alignment.
  • Growth Rods – For children with scoliosis, adjustable rods are implanted to allow growth while correcting the spine.

Minimally Invasive Surgery for Scoliosis and Kyphosis

Minimally invasive procedures are gaining popularity for their faster recovery and reduced post-operative pain. Our expert spine surgeons in Hyderabad specialize in:

  • Endoscopic Spinal Surgery – A small incision is made, and specialized instruments are used to correct spinal deformities.
  • Percutaneous Screw Placement – Small incisions are made to insert screws and rods without opening the entire back.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

The recovery process varies depending on the type of treatment. Here’s what patients can expect:

  • Hospital Stay – 2 to 5 days, depending on the surgery type.
  • Rehabilitation – Physical therapy begins 2-3 weeks after surgery to restore mobility and strength.
  • Full Recovery – It can take 3-6 months for complete healing, with regular check-ups to monitor progress.

Yes, bracing and physical therapy can help manage scoliosis in children. For adults, physical therapy and medications can relieve pain, but surgery may be necessary for severe cases.

It involves smaller incisions, less blood loss, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. Techniques include percutaneous screw placement and endoscopic spinal correction.

Kyphosis can be treated with posture correction, physical therapy, bracing, or surgery if the curvature is severe.

Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure where two or more vertebrae are fused together to prevent further curve progression.
