Innovative scoliosis surgical techniques

Overview

Medical teams at the Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria delle Marche in Italy have performed an innovative, minimally invasive surgery on a 12-year-old boy with severe scoliosis.

Led by Professor Antonio Pompilio Gigante, the team utilized a ‘bipolar percutaneous correction without arthrodesis’ technique. This method employs a self-lengthening system of two bars that expand as the child grows, aiming to reduce blood loss, infection risks, and the necessity for repeated surgeries. This procedure marks the first time this specific technique has been conducted in the Marche region, following studies conducted by the team at the Necker pediatric hospital in Paris.
