title: [Results of surgical management of scoliosis and kyphoscoliosis in adults (author's transl)].
abstract: Report about 60 operated scoliosis and kyphoscoliosis experienced at adults above 18 years. After separating the patients into male and female groups, age and localisation the most severe preoperative findings which make the operative treatment more difficult, will be described. Much impact will be put on pre-operative respiratoric and cardial impairment. The evaluation of scoliosis in adults will be proofed by examples. The operative technique, whose basis is the Harrington instrumentation in the modification by Stagnara, will be described also. 72 operative treatments have been necessary at 60 patients. In many cases rip-resections and dorsal osteotomies of the spine have been done. In oposition to the correction results of 46.2% on scoliosis and 56.5% on kyphoscoliosis there is one pulmonary embolism ending deadly and one irreversible paraplegia.
