Correction and Fixation Surgery

What is Corrective Fixation Surgery?

Correction and fixation surgery is indicated for degenerative scoliosis. Degenerative scoliosis is a condition where aging causes degeneration or displacement of the intervertebral discs and facet joints, leading to progressive deformity of the spine. As this deformity worsens, it can result in severe lower back pain that makes it difficult to stand, and may also lead to conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Surgical Methods

In traditional methods, surgery required a large incision in the back. However, our institution now combines LLIF (Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion) and MIS-TLIF (Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery with Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion) to reduce blood loss.
