Less-Invasive Approach to Early-Onset Scoliosis—Surgical Technique for Magnetically Controlled Growing Rod (MCGR) Based on Treatment of 2-Year-Old Child with Severe Scoliosis
Background: Spinal deformities in children can be caused by various etiologies, such as congenital, syndromic, neuromuscular, or idiopathic. Early-onset scoliosis (EOS) is diagnosed before the age of ten years, and when the curvature continues to progress and exceeds a Cobb angle of 60–65 degrees, surgical treatment should be considered. Initial minimally invasive surgery and the implantation of magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGRs) allows…
A Rare Complication of Thoracic Spine Surgery
Pediatric HS after posterior instrumented scoliosis correction surgery with posterior vertebral column resection of the thoracic spine is very rare. This is the first reported case of HS after posterior vertebral column resection and spinal fusion for congenital kyphoscoliosis without the use of epidural analgesia. Symptom resolution may be variable and, in some cases, delayed
Perioperative Risk Factors for Bleeding in Adolescents Undergoing Pedicle Screw Instrumentation for Scoliosis
Progressive scoliosis eventually leads to extensive spinal fusion surgery, which carries a risk for significant bleeding. Neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) patients have an additional inherent risk of major perioperative bleeding. The purpose of our research was to investigate the risk factors for measured (intraoperative, drain output) and hidden blood loss related to pedicle screw instrumentation in adolescents, divided into adolescent idiopathic s…
Intraoperative 3D Imaging Reduces Pedicle Screw Related Complications and Reoperations in Adolescents Undergoing Posterior Spinal Fusion for Idiopathic Scoliosis
Widely used surgical treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is posterior spinal fusion using pedicle screw instrumentation (PSI). Two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) navigation is used to track the screw positioning during surgery. In this study, we evaluated the screw misplacement, complications, and need for reoperations of intraoperative 3D as compared to 2D imaging in AIS patients. There were 198 adolescents, of which …
The Extension of Surgery Predicts Acute Postoperative Pain, While Persistent Postoperative Pain Is Related to the Spinal Pathology in Adolescents Undergoing Posterior Spinal Fusion
Persistent pain after posterior spinal fusion affects 12 to 42% of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The incidence of persistent pain among surgically treated children with Scheuermann kyphosis and spondylolisthesis is not known. The aim of our study was to determine the predictors and incidence of acute and chronic postoperative pain in adolescents undergoing posterior spinal fusion surgery. The study was a retrospective analysis of…
