SCOLIOSIS SURGERY OF CHILDREN

Abstract

The paper provides the experience of the surgery of 103 children with progressive scoliosis. While treating progressive spinal column deformity (30-50°Kobb), an intraoperative correction by using one- or two-laminar endocorrectors has been carried out. Provided that the scoliosis was apparent (more 50°), being associated with the developed costal humpback, the disease was treated by means of placing one or two implants of static type. Earlier referral of the patients suffering from scoliosis to specialized surgical hospital, as well as adequate surgical treatment allow achieving the correction of the spinal column deformity and determining a good cosmetic result.
