Our goal was to report long-term changes in radiographic and health-related quality-of-life measures in a consecutive series of pediatric and adult patients undergoing posterior vertebral column resection with a minimum follow-up of 5 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We reviewed all patients undergoing posterior vertebral column resection by a single surgeon prior to January 1, 2010, at a single institution. Standard preoperative and perioperative data were collected, including the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)-22\/24 instrument.

The mean age (and standard deviation) was 12.5 \u00b1 3 years for the pediatric cohort and 39.3 \u00b1 20 years for the adult cohort. Improvements in the mean major Cobb angle at a minimum follow-up of 5 years were seen: 61.6% correction for the pediatric cohort and 53.9% correction for the adult cohort. The rates of proximal junctional kyphosis, defined as proximal junctional kyphosis of &gt;10\u00b0, were 16.1% for the pediatric cohort and 34.8% for the adult cohort, but none underwent a revision surgical procedure for symptomatic proximal junctional kyphosis. Of the 54 patients, 30 (55.6%) sustained complications, 5 (9.3%) experienced postoperative neurological deficits, and 7 (13.0%) required a revision by 5 years postoperatively. Significant improvements were observed in the SRS-Self Image with regard to the pediatric cohort at 0.9 (p = 0.017) and the adult cohort at 1.3 (p = 0.002) and in the SRS-Satisfaction with regard to the pediatric cohort at 1.8 (p = 0.008) and the adult cohort at 1.3 (p = 0.005).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Posterior vertebral column resection offers substantial, sustained improvements in global radiographic alignment and patient outcome scores at 5 years.
