How are we doing?
About the clinic
Scoliosis surgery at Central Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, provides advanced correction for spinal curvature under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Nurullah Ermiş. The hospital uses a combination of high-precision imaging like 3 Tesla MRI and real-time neuromonitoring to protect nerve function during the procedure. This surgery is a primary solution for patients with curves exceeding 45 degrees who require stabilization or mobility preservation.
Diagnosis and Treatment Methods
Doctors begin with the Adam’s forward bend test and full spine X-rays to assess the spine. They use Cobb angle measurements to determine the exact degree of curvature. For mild cases between 10 and 25 degrees, the team recommends observation. If the curve reaches 25 to 45 degrees, specialists often prescribe orthoses, such as corsets, to slow down the progression.
When surgery is necessary, Central Hospital offers several modern techniques:
- Posterior Spinal Fusion (PSF): The surgeon uses titanium screws and rods along with a bone graft to stabilize the spine.
- Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT): This newer method for adolescents helps preserve spinal mobility while correcting the curve.
- Anterior Approach: The surgeon accesses the spine through the abdominal or thoracic cavity.
Safety and Advanced Technology
The Orthopedics and Spine Surgery Clinic uses computer-aided planning for every operation. During the surgery, real-time neuromonitoring tracks the spinal cord and nerve roots constantly. This helps the surgical team maintain safety throughout the correction. The facility also features AI-powered MRI and CT scanners to help with precise surgical mapping.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Patients typically stay in the hospital for 4 to 7 days. During the first 48 hours, a physiotherapist helps the patient sit and walk for the first time. Central Hospital houses a dedicated robotic rehabilitation unit to support faster recovery. After discharge, patients should avoid prolonged sitting for the first six weeks. Most people return to school or desk work within three months. Full recovery and a return to high-intensity sports usually occur between one and two years after the procedure. Follow-up appointments are scheduled at one week, one month, and three months to monitor the fusion process.
