Advanced Diagnostic Evaluation
Patients receive a thorough pre-operative workup. This process confirms the curve's severity and ensures surgery is safe.
- CT scan for detailed bone structure analysis.
- MRI of the spine to assess spinal cord and soft tissues.
- Specialized scoliosis graphy (X-rays) to measure the curve.
- Multi-disciplinary consultations with neurosurgery, cardiology, and other specialists.
- Complete pre-operative lab tests and radiology.
Surgical Treatment Options
The clinic specializes in two main surgical techniques. The choice depends on the patient's age, curve type, and flexibility.
Apifix Scoliosis Surgery is a minimal invasive option. It uses a self-adjusting ApiFix device implanted along the spine. This method preserves vertebral motion and allows for faster recovery without fusion. Hospitalization for this procedure is typically 12 days and includes follow-up care.
Scoliosis Surgery with Posterior Instrumentation is a spinal fusion procedure. It involves placing screws and rods along 7 to 10 or more spinal levels. Neuromonitoring is used throughout to protect nerve function. This surgery provides a permanent, solid correction of the spinal curve. The package for this major surgery includes nearly everything needed during the hospital stay.
Inclusive Surgical Package
The posterior fusion surgery package is designed for international patients. It covers care from arrival to discharge.
- The scoliosis surgery procedure with posterior instrumentation.
- Intraoperative neuromonitorization for safety.
- All necessary multi-disciplinary consultations.
- Pre-operative tests and imaging.
- 6 to 7 days of hospitalization (1 day in ICU, 5-6 in a ward).
- All hospital meals and translation services.
- Complimentary airport transfers for the patient.
