Surgery may be recommended when conservative treatments did not work and the spinal deformity is progressing or has caused serious complications. The goal of surgery for scoliosis is to correct the curve, halt its progression, and reduce pain and neurological symptoms. The Weill Cornell Medicine neurosurgical team is often sought out to perform ...

Scoliosis is most commonly idiopathic in origin, but it may be congenital or secondary to neuromuscular disease, trauma, infection or neoplasm. Surgery aims to correct the curvature, improve posture and reduce progression of respiratory dysfunction. Cardio-respiratory dysfunction may exist as a result of progressive scoliosis or be related to ...
