What to Expect from Scoliosis Surgery & Spine Operations

Depending on the type of procedure, spine surgery can be a traditional open surgery or a minimally invasive procedure. The operation may last two to four hours and require you to stay overnight in our hospital.

During back surgery, your Dignity Health Southern California surgeon will place screws, pins, cages, or artificial discs to support your spine. These may have to stay in your back permanently. General anesthesia will prevent you from experiencing pain during the operation.

As with all surgical operations, spine surgery comes with inherent risks. Your doctor will let you know about the risks and benefits.

Recovery After Spine Treatment

Complete recovery after spine surgery can take several months. During this time, you may need to wear a back brace to stabilize your spine while it heals. Your doctor may suggest limiting your activity, but recommend that you walk frequently. Physical therapy and rehabilitation are also common after a back operation. After surgery, you’ll get all the information you need for a quick recovery that’s free of complications.
