Scoliosis is a spinal deformity characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. While the severity of scoliosis can vary widely, it often presents challenges that impact an individual's quality of life. One of the treatment options for scoliosis, particularly in cases where the curvature is severe or progressive, is laminectomy. This surgical procedure involves the removal of a portion of the vertebra, aimed at correcting spinal curvature and relieving associated symptoms. In this article, we delve into the intricacies of scoliosis, explore the role of laminectomy in its treatment and discuss its efficacy, risks and advancements in the field. Scoliosis is a complex condition that can develop at any age, although it most commonly manifests during adolescence. While the exact cause of scoliosis remains unknown in many cases, factors such as genetics, neuromuscular conditions, or congenital spine abnormalities may contribute to its development. The hallmark of scoliosis is the abnormal sideways curvature of the spine, which can range from mild to severe.
