text: There is not a operation called that, It's just called back surgery, But someone can get Scoliosis. I had a 49 degree curve in my back, and I got surgery which consisted of two 11 inch rods and 16 2 inch screws. Now my curve is down to 11 degrees, and I no longer lean to my left! I had my surgery done 5 years ago. If you met today you would never guess that I had scoliosis unless I told you. But there are few restrictions like someone was saying. I am unable to go on roller coasters, or anything similar that would put alot of force upon my back.
