I just joined this forum, and am facing my first surgery for scoliosis. I have surgery coming up in November for a 57 degree lumbar curve. My surgeon plans an anterior/posterior approach. Anticipating 8 hours, 8 fusions from the back, 3 also from the front.
I had heard of minimally invasive techniques, but when researching, found that it looks as though only thoracic curves can be done this way.
Does anyone have experience with minimally-invasive lumbar fusion?
