Scoliosis surgery: advances thanks to surgical planning and customized rods | Instituto Clavel

At Instituto Clavel we have a team specialized in the treatment of adolescent and adult scoliosis. This pathology, which is defined as a curvature in the spine, sometimes requires surgery. It is a complex intervention, so it is only indicated when the curvature exceeds 45-50 degrees and seriously affects the patient's quality of life.
The goal of the surgery is to correct the deformity of the spine and this is done by placing screws and customized rods. Due to the complexity of the operation, the surgical planning has become a key tool to guarantee the success of the surgery. Currently, Instituto Clavel is the only center in Spain where, thanks to this planning, we design the rods to measure for each of our patients.
In this video, Dr. Ignasi Català, member of our Scoliosis Unit, explains in which cases it is indicated, what the surgery consists of, what measures are carried out to guarantee safety during the surgery and what the recovery process is like. If you know someone who suffers from scoliosis, we encourage you to share the video!
