Abstract
Several medical complications can occur after scoliosis surgery in children and adolescents. They include the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone; pancreatitis; cholelithiasis; superior mesenteric artery syndrome; ileus; pnemothorax; hemothorax; chylothorax; and fat embolism. This review focuses on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of the various conditions that occur after correction of spinal deformity. Attention is given to recent literature specifically related to scoliosis surgery. Surgical complications like urinary tract infection, wound infection, and hardware failure will not be addressed.Entities:
