Abstract
Adult spinal deformity (ASD) continues to increase in tandem with a globally aging population. Advances in technology and surgical techniques have significantly improved the efficacy of surgical treatment for ASD. The medical complexity of patients with ASD in combination with the intensive physiologic demands of deformity surgery accentuates the risk of postoperative complications in this patient population. Therefore, this review sequentially outlines postoperative complications in spinal deformity surgery by timing and prevalence, and describes risk factors and management strategies to improve outcomes in patients undergoing surgical treatment for ASD.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Spine Surgery is a continuing source of current, clinical information for practicing surgeons. Under the direction of a specially selected guest editor, each issue addresses a single topic in the management and care of patients. Topics covered in each issue include basic anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, management options and follow-up of the condition under consideration. The journal also features "Spinescope," a special section providing summaries of articles from other journals that are of relevance to the understanding of ongoing research related to the treatment of spinal disorders.
