- Congenital spinal abnormalities that cause progressive deformity or neurological issues.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive medical evaluation including blood tests, ECG, and chest X-ray.
- Detailed imaging studies such as MRI, CT scans, and possibly X-rays under bending stress.
- Consultation with the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and possibly other specialists to assess fitness for major surgery.
- Discontinuation of certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) as advised by the doctor.
- Pre-operative physiotherapy to strengthen core muscles and improve overall fitness.
- Arranging for post-operative support at home and planning for an extended recovery period.
Risks & possible complications
- General surgical risks: Infection, bleeding, blood clots (DVT/PE), and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
- Nerve injury, which could lead to weakness, numbness, pain, or, in rare cases, paralysis.
- Hardware-related issues like implant failure, loosening, or malposition.
- Failure of the bone to fuse properly (pseudarthrosis), potentially requiring revision surgery.
- Adjacent segment disease, where spinal levels above or below the fusion degenerate faster.
- Persistent pain, cerebrospinal fluid leak, or issues with wound healing.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial hospital stay for monitoring pain, neurological function, and mobilization with assistance.
- Wearing a back brace for several weeks to months to support healing and fusion.
- Strict adherence to movement restrictions (no bending, twisting, lifting) as prescribed.
- Gradual, supervised physical therapy program starting soon after surgery to rebuild strength and mobility.
- Pain management with medications, transitioning from stronger to milder options.
- Follow-up appointments for imaging (X-rays) to monitor bone fusion and hardware position.
- A gradual return to light activities over months, with full recovery and fusion taking up to a year or more.
