Storie di Chirurgia Ortopedica. Meri, operata di Scoliosi.

Through the words of 45-year-old Di Meri, we discover scoliosis correction. This procedure, one of the most feared in orthopedic surgery, can be undertaken with peace of mind when surgeons are supported by the expertise of anesthesiologists, resuscitators, nurses, physiotherapists, neurologists, and others. Professor Cesare Faldini explains the main phases of the correction, which, while still a major procedure, can be performed less invasively than in the past, allowing for much of the spine to remain mobile. Meri's experience explains to those who must undertake this procedure what happens "behind the scenes" and the recovery options at the end of the process.
