Kyphosis Correction Surgery in Mukundapur

Kyphosis is a spinal condition marked by an exaggerated forward rounding of the upper back that can create a hunched appearance. While a mild curve may be normal, a pronounced curvature can affect posture, flexibility, breathing, and overall comfort. It may result from poor posture, structural deformities such as Scheuermann’s disease, congenital spine issues, or age-related degeneration. With modern medical advancements, effective kyphosis correction and management options now help individuals stand straighter, move more comfortably, and regain confidence. Early detection and timely medical care are crucial, as they can slow progression, reduce complications, and often minimise the need for major surgical procedures.

How it works

Kyphosis correction starts with careful clinical evaluation and early screening, especially in adolescents during growth spurts and older adults with persistent back pain or stiffness. Once suspected, advanced diagnostics such as digital X-rays, 3D spinal imaging, and posture and flexibility assessments help accurately measure curvature and plan personalised treatment.

For mild to moderate kyphosis, non-surgical management is often effective and may include customised physical therapy to strengthen core and back muscles, improve posture, and increase flexibility. Bracing may be advised for growing children to prevent progression, while medications or supportive therapies relieve discomfort. If the curvature is severe or continues to worsen, surgical options such as spinal fusion, osteotomies, minimally invasive methods, or robot-assisted surgery may be recommended to realign and stabilise the spine, using precision navigation and intraoperative monitoring to enhance safety and long-term balance.

FAQ's

Kyphosis is a spinal disorder characterized by an exaggerated forward rounding of the upper back, often appearing as a hunchback. While a slight curve is normal, a curvature exceeding 45-50 degrees is generally considered kyphotic.

Yes, many cases of Kyphosis, especially postural or mild structural types, can be effectively managed with non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, bracing, and pain management. Surgery is typically reserved for severe or progressive cases.

Risks include infection, bleeding, nerve damage, implant failure, and pseudoarthrosis (failure of spinal fusion). However, at Manipal Hospitals, our experienced surgeons and advanced technology significantly minimise these risks.

Recovery time varies depending on the individual, the extent of the surgery, and the patient's overall health. Generally, patients may spend several days in the hospital, followed by several weeks to months of activity restrictions and physical therapy to regain strength and flexibility.

Yes, Kyphosis is relatively common. Postural kyphosis can affect individuals of all ages, while Scheuermann's kyphosis affects approximately 0.4% to 8% of adolescents. Degenerative kyphosis is prevalent in the elderly population, affecting a significant portion.
