[Surgical treatment of adult spinal deformities].

CONCLUSION: Patients for whom even conservative treatment leads to success should be identified earlier and better. The surgical treatment ranges from minimally invasive decompression to multilevel fusions. Complications in large corrective interventions can be substantial but if the indications are correctly assessed, such complex surgical treatment has excellent clinical results in terms of pain and quality of life.
