Anterior-Posterior Combined Correction and Fusion (Severe/Rigid)
Combined anterior and posterior approaches can be considered when the deformity is rigid or severe, requires a significant increase in flexibility and anterior column support, or when the desired correction and balance cannot be achieved with a posterior approach alone. Whether to use it is related

How Anterior-Posterior Combined Correction and Fusion (Severe/Rigid) is performed
This plan is often completed in stages: the anterior approach involves discectomy/decompression under general anesthesia and image guidance, and placement of bone grafts or support materials (if applicable) to increase anterior column support and flexibility; subsequently, the posterior approach uses a screw-rod system to perform three-dimensional correction and fusion. Neuromonitoring and bleeding management are performed throughout the process. Postoperative focus is on observing neurological status, lung function, and incision, and gradually resuming activity, with the goal of correcting kyphosis and stabilizing the spine. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital plan.

Recovery process
Step 1
Recovery and stay
Combining preoperative evaluation, surgery hospitalization, and postoperative follow-up, it is generally recommended to stay for approximately 4–6 weeks, subject to the specialist team and scheduling.
