Spinal deformities, such as scoliosis, kyphosis, and other irregular curvatures, can significantly impact mobility, posture, and overall quality of life. Advanced surgical techniques, including minimally invasive and robotic-assisted approaches, have made spinal deformity correction more effective and safer.
Dr. Shrikant Dalal, a leading spine surgeon in Pune, specializes in Spinal Deformity Correction, combining cutting-edge technology and compassionate care to deliver transformative results for his patients.
What Are Spinal Deformities?
Spinal deformities occur when the spine curves abnormally, leading to structural imbalances. Common types include:
Scoliosis: A sideways curvature of the spine, often developing during adolescence.
Kyphosis: An exaggerated forward rounding of the upper back, commonly seen in older adults or individuals with poor posture.
Lordosis: Excessive inward curvature of the lower spine, resulting in a swayback appearance.
Flat Back Syndrome: A loss of the spine's natural curves, causing difficulty in standing upright.
Post-Traumatic or Degenerative Deformities: Deformities caused by injuries, arthritis, or aging-related changes in the spine.
Symptoms of Spinal Deformities
Patients with spinal deformities may experience:
Visible curvature or imbalance in posture.
Chronic back pain and stiffness.
Difficulty walking, sitting, or standing for long periods.
Fatigue due to uneven spinal load.
Neurological symptoms like numbness or weakness if nerves are compressed.
When is Surgery Required?
While many spinal deformities can be managed with physical therapy, bracing, or medication, surgery becomes necessary when:
The curvature is severe or worsening.
Pain is persistent and unresponsive to conservative treatments.
Neurological symptoms like tingling or weakness develop.
The deformity impacts respiratory or cardiac function.
Spinal Deformity Correction Surgery: What to Expect
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
Dr. Dalal conducts a detailed assessment, including imaging tests (X-rays, MRIs, CT scans) to determine the severity and root cause of the deformity.
2. Personalized Surgical Plan
Each patient receives a customized treatment plan based on their condition, age, and lifestyle needs.
3. Surgical Techniques
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS): Smaller incisions and less tissue disruption for faster recovery.
Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Enhanced precision, reduced risk of complications, and better alignment correction.
Spinal Fusion: Stabilizing and correcting curvature by fusing affected vertebrae with implants or bone grafts.
Osteotomies: Reshaping or removing bone segments to restore spinal alignment.
Benefits of Spinal Deformity Correction Surgery
Dr. Shrikant Dalal highlights the advantages of advanced correction techniques:
Improved Posture and Balance: Restores the natural alignment of the spine.
Pain Relief: Alleviates chronic discomfort caused by uneven spinal loads.
Enhanced Mobility: Allows patients to return to daily activities with ease.
Neurological Recovery: Relieves pressure on compressed nerves, restoring function.
Boosted Confidence: Correcting visible deformities improves self-esteem and quality of life.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Post-surgery, patients receive comprehensive care, including:
Physical therapy to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility.
Guidance on proper posture and movement.
Regular follow-ups to monitor progress and ensure optimal healing.
