Scoliosis correction surgery involves advanced techniques to straighten the spine, relieve spinal cord compression, and restore posture. Depending on the type and severity of curvature, Dr. Himanshu Tyagi uses a tailored approach to achieve the best outcomes.
For congenital scoliosis, especially with structural deformities like hemivertebra, we perform Hemivertebra Excision Surgery—removing the malformed bone segment for direct correction. In flexible curves, Ponte’s Osteotomy helps improve mobility by removing the facet joints and posterior elements to aid in curve correction.
For severe, rigid, or multi-planar deformities, Vertebral Column Resection (VCR) is used to completely remove one or more vertebrae, allowing powerful correction in all planes. Additionally, Direct Vertebral Rotation (DVR) addresses rotational deformities by rotating the vertebra to realign the spine’s 3D structure.
To apply controlled forces during correction, we use the Cantilever Technique and Compression-Distraction Techniques, which help in segmental alignment and stabilization.
With the aid of neuromonitoring, 3D spinal reconstruction, and high-quality American implants, Dr. Himanshu Tyagi ensures precision, safety, and long-term success in every scoliosis case.
