Scoliosis and kyphosis correction surgery are also called deformity correction surgeries the main motive of these surgeries is to get a bent spine back into acceptable alignment. The advantage of getting spine back in near normal alignment is not just limited to cosmesis  or to getting a balanced spine but also helps in reliving pressure over the spinal nerves. with the advent of newer technologies and newer techniques for scoliosis and kyphosis correction the need for abdomen opening or chest opening surgeries have declined significantly, a near total correction is possible by use of posterior only approach by use of pedicle screws. These surgeries have been made safer by use of neuromonitoring which entails live monitoring of nerve function throughout surgery.
