How Three-Column Osteotomy for Severe Adult Spinal Deformity (PSO/VCR) is performed
For severe rigid deformities, vertebral body wedge resection (PSO) or vertebral column resection (VCR) is often selected, combined with a screw-rod system. After general anesthesia, posterior release is gradually performed, temporary fixation is arranged, three-column osteotomy and closure are completed according to the plan, support is reconstructed, and bone grafting is used to promote fusion. The entire process combines imaging and neurological monitoring, and postoperative intensive care may be required. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
