Interdisciplinary Scoliosis Correction Program.

The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes after scoliosis surgery before and after the implementation of an interdisciplinary juvenile scoliosis correction program in teenager based on ERAS (enhanced recovery after surgery) principles.

Creating an optimal protocol for interdisciplinary care in the perioperative period in terms of therapeutic management (anesthesia and surgery schedule), as well as care, rehabilitation and ensuring mental well-being determines the real impact on the reduction of the risk of complications in the perioperative period. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol has been found to result in reduced lenght of stay and complications in adult patients. Data in pediatric population remains modest. In addition to ERAS principles our terapeutic team has created a special educational application for better patient preparation for surgery. The purpose of the application is to explain the general rules of conduct in the process of preparing and carrying out surgery, anesthesia, prehabilitation and physiotherapy in children undergoing orthopedics surgery (e.g. spine surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis). Hypothesis: Implementing an interdisciplinary juvenile scoliosis correction program based on ERAS principles and special educational app. will improve patient outcomes leading to a statistically significant reduction in post-operative pain and opioids demand, complication rate, length of stay without increasing readmissions and cost.
