Reviewing a proposed procedure with your chosen doctor
Scoliosis Surgery
second opinion in Mumbai.
Medical term: Spinal deformity correction and fusion
Already chosen your spine surgeon in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai to review your proposed scoliosis surgery? When you cannot attend yourself, Redwood organises your existing records and questions, takes the case to that doctor and shares their recommendations.
You choose the doctor. We take your case to them.
Understand the procedure
What is scoliosis surgery?
Scoliosis surgery aims to address a sideways curve of the spine in selected patients. The reasons for surgery differ between a growing child and an adult with pain, imbalance or nerve symptoms. Not every spinal curve needs an operation.
This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Your decision, your questions
Questions for your chosen doctor
Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.
- What is the reason to operate on this curve now?
- Which vertebrae would be fused, and how would that affect movement or growth?
- What improvement is realistic for pain, posture and nerve symptoms?
- What neurological risks and rehabilitation needs apply to the proposed correction?
Your existing case file
Records to organise
We organise the standing full-spine x-rays and previous curve measurements alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the spine surgeon to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.
Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.
Bring together what is available
- Standing full-spine X-rays and previous curve measurements
- MRI or CT images already obtained
- Growth or skeletal-maturity information for a child, if assessed
- Previous bracing, physiotherapy, operations and symptom history
- Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details
When you cannot attend yourself
How Redwood takes your case to your doctor
- Tell us whom you have chosen. Share the doctor’s name, hospital or clinic, and the decision you want reviewed.
- Prepare the case with us. We organise your existing records, treatment timeline and questions, then coordinate the appointment.
- We attend with your case. Your Care Steward takes the organised scoliosis surgery case file to the spine surgeon you selected and puts forward your recorded questions. After the consultation, we share the doctor's recommendations and consultation documents with you.
A video call during the consultation can be arranged if the doctor allows.
We respond within 12 hours of your enquiry.
