Scoliosis After Resection of Primary Pediatric Chest Wall Tumors

In brief

This study investigates scoliosis as a long-term complication following surgical resection of chest wall tumors in pediatric patients. The research identifies specific risk factors that predict spinal deformity development after tumor removal, informing surgical planning and postoperative monitoring strategies.

• Scoliosis is a recognized long-term complication following surgical resection of pediatric chest wall tumors.
• The study identifies specific risk factors that predict which patients will develop post-resection scoliosis.
• Understanding these risk factors can guide surveillance protocols and early intervention strategies in at-risk patients.
