Safety in scoliosis surgery

Scoliosis surgery is a complex procedure that requires specialized techniques to achieve optimal results and minimize complications. At our clinic, we attach great importance to the safety of our patients throughout the entire surgical procedure and the postoperative period. We would like to introduce you to some of the safety measures we use during scoliosis surgery.

Safety measures

Neuromonitoring

An essential tool for ensuring safety during scoliosis surgery is neuromonitoring. This innovative technology allows our surgeons to monitor neurological function in real time and detect and prevent possible nerve damage during the procedure. By precisely monitoring the electrical activity of the nerves, we can identify potential risks early and take appropriate measures to minimize them.

Postoperative care

Our commitment to safety does not end with the completion of the surgical procedure. We place great emphasis on comprehensive post-operative care to ensure our patients recover quickly and achieve optimal results. Our experienced nursing team is available 24/7 to help our patients manage pain, rehabilitate, and address potential post-operative challenges.

Cell Saver

Another important tool we use during scoliosis surgery is the Cell Saver. This innovative device allows us to collect, purify and reuse the patient's blood during the procedure. By using the patient's own blood, we significantly reduce the risk of blood loss and transfusion-related complications. This contributes to a faster recovery and an improved postoperative course.

Postoperative pain management

Postoperative pain management after scoliosis surgery plays a crucial role in ensuring patient comfort and recovery. At our clinic, we attach great importance to offering our patients comprehensive and effective pain treatment to support their recovery and make their stay as comfortable as possible. Below we would like to introduce some of the pain management options we offer after scoliosis surgery

Radiation protection

The safety of our patients is our top priority, especially during surgical procedures such as scoliosis surgery. An important aspect of safety to which we pay particular attention is radiation protection. We use state-of-the-art technologies and proven procedures to minimize radiation exposure during scoliosis surgery and protect the health of our patients.

Early mobilization and rehabilitation

The postoperative period after scoliosis surgery represents a crucial time for patient recovery. At our clinic, we place great emphasis on early mobilization and rehabilitation to help patients recover quickly and regain functional independence. Below we would like to present some of the most important aspects of our postoperative mobilization and rehabilitation after scoliosis surgery

If you have any questions about the safety of scoliosis surgery or treatment options, we will be happy to help you. Contact us to arrange a consultation appointment.
