[Long term outcome of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis].
To study the long term outcomes and complications of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in correcting thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (T-AIS) with more than five-year follow-up. ⋯ Loss of curve correction and implant-related complication are found in VATS-treated T-AIS patients at the long-term follow-up. Although the patients show high scores in SRS-22, which indicated higher functional outcome and satisfaction to the operation, special care should be taken for applying VATS to T-AIS patients for the concern of long-term complication.
