Congenital spinal deformity surgery

The cost of surgery for congenital spinal deformity varies depending on the complexity of the condition and the level of the hospital. Treatment requires a combination of surgical correction and postoperative rehabilitation. The cause of congenital spinal deformity may be related to genetics, environment, physiological factors, and pathological changes. The cost of surgery usually includes preoperative examination, surgical operation, postoperative care and rehabilitation treatment.

1. Genetic factors are a common cause of congenital spinal deformities. The family history of some patients may be related to gene mutations or chromosomal abnormalities. If genetic testing shows a clear genetic risk, genetic counseling and premarital examinations are recommended to reduce the probability of disease in offspring.

2. Environmental factors such as maternal malnutrition, infection, drug exposure or radiation during pregnancy may affect the development of the fetal spine. During pregnancy, you should focus on balanced nutrition, supplement folic acid and calcium, avoid contact with harmful substances, and have regular prenatal examinations to screen for developmental abnormalities.

3. Physiological factors include abnormal position of the fetus in the uterus or restricted growth and development, which lead to changes in the spinal morphology. During pregnancy, you should pay attention to maintaining a good posture, proper activities, and avoid long-term compression of the fetus.

4. Pathological changes such as spina bifida and congenital hemivertebra may lead to spinal deformity. After the diagnosis is confirmed by imaging examination, the severity of the deformity needs to be assessed and a surgical plan should be formulated. Surgical methods include vertebral fusion, spinal correction, and pedicle screw fixation. The cost varies greatly depending on the difficulty of the operation and the materials used.

5. Postoperative rehabilitation is a key stage to ensure the effectiveness of treatment, including physical therapy, functional exercise, nutritional support, etc. Rehabilitation therapy can use low-frequency electrical stimulation, hot compress, massage and other methods, combined with paraspinal muscle training and core strength training to promote spinal stability and functional recovery.

The cost of surgery for congenital spinal deformity is related to the complexity of the disease, the surgical method, and the level of the hospital. It is recommended to choose a regular hospital for professional evaluation and treatment, and adhere to rehabilitation training after surgery to improve the quality of life.
