I'm not the local expert (my son has scoliosis and has not had surgery) but a 40 to 50% chance of serious complications sounds very, very high to me.
As someone who spent years seeing an orthopedic surgeon who did not specialize in scoliosis, I would strongly recommend finding a Dr. who's on the list at the Scoliosis Research Society. You can search at the link here - http://srs.execinc.com/edibo/PublicDirectory.
