Complications and Risk Factors of Primary Adult Scoliosis Surgery

Abstract: Overall complication rate was 39%, and 26% of the patients were reoperated for mechanical or neurological complications. Risk factors include number of instrumented vertebra, fusion to the sacrum, PSO, and preoperative pelvic tilt of 26° or more. There is a 44% risk of a new operation in the 6-year-period after the primary procedure.

“…More recently, a retrospective review of data collected from six centres in France (analysing 306 patients) indicated a 39 % overall complication rate for primary adult scoliosis surgery; 26 % of patients were re-operated for mechanical or neurological complications and the risk of re-intervention resulted to be 44 % in the 6-year period after the primary procedure [14].…”

“…One study reported a reoperation rate of 7% for isolated decompression, 15% for short fusion and 28% for long fusion in patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis 2 years after the index surgery [8]. Charosky et al [11] reported a 44% risk of reoperation after a mean follow-up of 5.8 years in patients that had undergone primary adult scoliosis surgery with a mean of seven instrumented levels. Our figures point in the same direction but were without significant differences between the major and minor surgery groups.…”
