Scoliosis Surgery with Navigation | Why Is It Sometimes Necessary?

Scoliosis treatment often begins conservatively. In many cases, patients are first managed with brace treatment and close monitoring.

However, when bracing fails and the spinal curve progresses beyond 50 degrees, scoliosis corrective surgery with posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion may be required.

Why is surgery needed?
Scoliosis surgery is performed not just to correct the curve, but to:
* Prevent further progression of the spinal deformity
* Improve the scoliosis curve and spinal alignment
* Enhance lung function and increase abdominal space
* Restore a balanced, stable, and pain-free spine
* Improve body symmetry and cosmetic appearance

At Sunway Medical Centre Penang, scoliosis surgery with navigation technology provides real-time guidance during surgery, enhancing precision, accuracy of implant placement, and overall surgical safety — supporting better outcomes for our patients.

Under the care of Dr Lim Han Sim and Dr Khoh Phaik Shan, Consultant Orthopaedic & Spine Surgeons at Sunway Medical Centre Penang, patients receive personalised treatment plans supported by advanced technology and extensive clinical expertise.

Yet beyond the clinical outcomes, there is something more meaningful.
While we may think we are only restoring a spinal deformity, our patients often tell us we have restored something far greater — their confidence, dignity, and freedom from feelings of inferiority.

Because scoliosis surgery isn’t just about straightening the spine — it’s about helping patients stand taller in life.

Patient Voice Series | A Gentle Recovery with Trusted Care

From Nibong Tebal, Ms Yeoh Kim Fang came to Sunway Medical Centre Penang after being diagnosed with fibroids in her uterus and ovaries. Initially, she was understandably reluctant to undergo surgery. However, after receiving recommendations from friends and learning more about her condition, she decided to proceed — concerned that the fibroids might continue to grow if left untreated.

Under the care of Dr Chiang Kin Chun Marcus, Resident Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, Ms Yeoh was guided through every step of her treatment journey with clear and detailed explanations. Dr Marcus recommended robotic-assisted surgery as the most suitable option, helping her feel reassured and confident about the procedure.

To her surprise, the experience was far smoother than she had expected. The procedure was painless, and she was able to walk normally the very next day after surgery. Her recovery progressed so well that even her friends were amazed — many shared that she did not look like someone who had just undergone surgery, but instead appeared strong and well.

At Sunway Medical Centre Penang, our robotic-assisted surgery integrates advanced technology with specialist expertise, offering enhanced precision, smaller incisions, reduced post-operative discomfort, and faster recovery — allowing patients to regain strength and return to daily life sooner and with confidence.

Patient Voice Series | Trusted Care Beyond Borders

All the way from Manado, Indonesia, Ms Renny Suzan Poluan chose Sunway Medical Centre Penang after receiving heartfelt recommendations from her children’s friends and family members who had previously undergone medical check-ups with us.

Beyond personal recommendations, Ms Renny shared that learning more about the hospital through patient stories and shared experiences in SMCP's social media platforms helped ease her concerns and gave her confidence before coming to Penang.

Her journey with us began when she needed treatment to remove a tumour from her spine — a decision that understandably came with many concerns. Under the care of Dr Lee Chun Lin, Resident Consultant Neurosurgeon, Ms Renny felt reassured every step of the way.

From clear and detailed explanations about the surgery to the smooth coordination of care from beginning to end, her experience was nothing short of exceptional. Every process was handled with professionalism, clarity, and compassion — giving her confidence and peace of mind throughout her treatment journey.

Stories like Ms Renny’s remind us why patients continue to trust Sunway Medical Centre Penang — not just for our medical expertise, but for the care, dedication, and human connection we bring to every patient we serve. 💙
