Scoliosis surgery is an invasive procedure essential for alleviating significant pain and improving the physical, psychological, aesthetic, professional, and social well-being of patients. However, it carries a considerable risk of perioperative complications. This retrospective study, conducted at Brest University Hospital since 2017, aims to analyze these complications to provide a detailed assessment, particularly since the introduction of the OARM (intraoperative CT navigation), with the goal of optimizing the safety and effectiveness of surgical interventions. The complications studied include neurological, infectious, mechanical, and cardiopulmonary complications, along with an additional "other" category for rare complications. The period analyzed extends from the immediate postoperative phase to the most recent follow-up consultation with the referring surgeon, which varies depending on the duration of follow-up for each patient.
