Scoliosis Surgery in Reno

Scoliosis is a spinal condition that can develop in children where the spine grows a sideways curve. It often occurs just before puberty, during the period when children experience a growth spurt. It can be caused by cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, but scoliosis is not always a sign of these conditions. Most cases of scoliosis cannot be explained.

Fortunately, most scoliosis cases are mild; however, some can worsen and become debilitating, potentially compressing the chest and impacting lung function. When this level of scoliosis becomes evident, surgical solutions are warranted. Even so, you want a thoroughly skilled and experienced neurosurgeon performing surgical treatment on your child.

Dr. Sina Rajamand has extensive training and diverse experience you can rely on for scoliosis surgery for your child. He and his team at Saint Mary’s Brain and Spine Surgery can explain the procedure and its desired goals to help your child live a normal and active life.

Minimally-Invasive Surgical Solutions For Scoliosis

When a brace fails to slow the progression of scoliosis or the condition worsens due to other factors, Dr. Rajamand can offer surgical solutions. Minimally-invasive surgical solutions for scoliosis including spinal fusion, where two or more vertebrae are fused together for stability. This can often stop the progression of curvature.

In other cases, Dr. Rajamand can install a rod along the spine to hold it straight. The rod is adjusted and lengthened as needed to accommodate your child’s growth into adulthood, maintaining stability and support for the spine.

Minimally-invasive procedures require a single, small incision at the exact area where repairs are needed, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and other surgical risks. It also allows for your child to heal much faster, making recovery easier. This advanced technology helps Dr. Rajamand produce excellent results for his patients.
