Abstract
Revision spinal deformity surgery is a considerable undertaking and should never be taken lightly. The complication rates are typically higher than index surgery and technical difficulties are of greater magnitude. A review of the literature on revision surgery on pediatric spine deformities is provided with technical details of vertebral column resection. Careful planning and preparation as well as previous experience with such deformities are of utmost importance to achieve satisfactory results.
