Minimally Invasive Scoliosis Surgery

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I finally gave in for my daughter scoliosis, with all the alternative

approaches. I get null cooperation from her. All she wants is a surgery. She is

15, with 50 degree curve, T10-L3. So after a massive search on the net I found

out about the relatively new approach for scoliosis surgery. It's called

minimally invasive surgery or Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS). It's

sounds SO much better!!!

Can anybody tell me more about it from experience? How do I find a surgeon who

specialize in this technique? We live in Virginia US.

Thanks for any advice,

Neta
