Adult and pediatric/adolescent scoliosis — from monitoring to corrective surgery, a case-specific plan.
Dr. Özgür Akşan · Neurosurgery · İzmir, Türkiye
Send your X-ray / MRI and we will review the curve and your options together — a second opinion is welcome.
Scoliosis is not a single condition; age, curve type and growth status shape the approach. Every case is assessed individually.
In growing patients, observation, bracing and surgery are weighed case by case; timing depends on growth status.
In age-related or degenerative curves, pain, balance and nerve compression findings are assessed together.
For kyphosis and other deformities, diagnosis, imaging and the appropriate approach are planned together.
Many curves are mild to moderate and are followed with periodic monitoring and imaging; bracing may be appropriate in selected growing patients. Surgery — correction and stabilization — is considered when the curve progresses, exceeds a threshold, or causes nerve compression or imbalance. The right path is decided together, case by case.
