Any type of surgery can have complications. Some complications are common to all surgeries that involve general anesthetics, such as respiratory (breathing) problems and infections. When a patient undergoes surgery for scoliosis, there are a few other complications that can occur.
If the surgery includes fusing the vertebrae (bones in the spine) and grafting, there is always a risk that the fusion or the graft don't take as they should.
It's best to speak with the surgeon about the different types of complications that may occur.
