About Kyphosis

Kyphosis surgery is a specialized spinal procedure performed to correct an excessive forward curvature of the upper back, a condition known as hyperkyphosis. This surgery, typically performed by a spine surgeon, aims to reduce pain, improve posture, restore spinal alignment, and prevent further progression of the deformity. The most common surgical approach is a spinal fusion, where the surgeon uses metal rods, screws, and bone grafts to straighten the spine and permanently fuse the affected vertebrae together. This procedure is considered for patients with severe, progressive, or painful kyphosis that does not respond to conservative treatments like physical therapy or bracing. It can significantly enhance quality of life, respiratory function, and overall mobility.

Key Highlights

Corrects abnormal spinal curvature to improve posture and appearance.Alleviates chronic back pain and discomfort associated with the deformity.Prevents the progression of the curvature, which can impact lung and heart function.Restores spinal alignment and balance, improving overall mobility and function.Can enhance respiratory capacity by reducing pressure on the chest cavity.

Who is this surgery for?

Severe kyphosis (curvature greater than 70-75 degrees) causing significant pain.
Progressive worsening of the curvature observed over time.
Neurological deficits, such as weakness, numbness, or tingling in the limbs.
Impaired lung function or breathing difficulties due to the spinal deformity.
Failure to respond to non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, pain medication, or bracing.
Cosmetic concerns or severe postural deformity affecting quality of life.

How to prepare

Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including blood tests, ECG, and imaging (X-rays, CT, or MRI).
Undergo pulmonary function tests to assess lung capacity.
Discuss all current medications with your surgeon; you may need to stop blood thinners.
Stop smoking several weeks before surgery to improve healing.
Arrange for help at home during the initial recovery period.
Follow pre-operative fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight).

Risks & possible complications

General surgical risks: Infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
Nerve damage, which could lead to weakness, paralysis, or loss of sensation.
Failure of the bone to fuse (pseudarthrosis), potentially requiring revision surgery.
Hardware complications, such as breakage, loosening, or irritation from rods/screws.
Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism).
Adjacent segment disease, where vertebrae above or below the fusion degenerate faster.
Persistent pain or incomplete correction of the deformity.

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital stay typically involves 4-7 days for monitoring, pain management, and initial mobilization.
Wearing a back brace for several months to support the spine as it heals.
Physical therapy begins soon after surgery to regain strength, flexibility, and proper movement.
Avoid bending, twisting, or lifting heavy objects (more than 5-10 lbs) for 6-12 weeks.
Gradual return to light activities and non-physical work within 6-8 weeks.
Full recovery and bone fusion can take 6-12 months, with follow-up X-rays to monitor progress.

Typical hospital stay: 4-7 days
Expected recovery time: 6-12 months for full fusion and activity return

Follow-up visit for my cervical disc...

Follow-up visit for my cervical disc replacement. Dr. Dwivedi remembered my daughter's board exam results and asked about them first. His staff coordinated with insurance for my scans - clinical excellence matched by human touch.
