[|Human|] Hi, I have some kind spinal disorder from birth. It may be spinal cord kyphosis. Actually only two verbetes are curved in spinal cord because of these hump on the back appeared. My parents notice when I was at the age of 7. Even we consult to many doctors but advice not to go for any kind of surgery. I am now 25 living normal life no pain nothing. But my appearance from back side is the issue. Any advices.
[|AI|]  Hi there, thanks for your question. At your age cosmetic appearance is one of the indication for intervention apart from disability caused by pain. In spite of recent advances in modern spine surgery kyphosis correction surgeries definitely have higher risk than correction of deformity like scoliosis. So if you can manage with your cosmetic appearance and pain is negligible you can wait. In the other hand if you feel the appearance is disabling, and you would rather get it corrected, surgery is advisable. Your doctors might have refused surgery due to smaller magnitude of deformity. Treatment varies on case by case basis. Hope this helps. All the best. Regards.  Chat Doctor.
