The most severe deformities exhibit rigidity, with flexibility below 30%. If left untreated or improperly treated, these deformities can result in serious complications associated with progression of the curvature. A combination of surgical techniques is frequently employed to attain optimal outcomes and minimize the risk of complications. The overall medical condition of the patient, their capacity to endure extensive procedures, the expertise of the surgeon, and the resources available all play significant roles in determining the course of management. A systematic and thorough review of the relevant literature was conducted utilizing a variety of electronic databases. The primary objective of this study was to scrutinize the surgical techniques commonly employed in complex spine surgeries for the management of severe scoliosis without resection vertebral body techniques, with higher potential risk of major complications, including permanent neurological deficit. Conclusions: Halo-gravity traction, halo femoral traction, and all techniques for releases of the spine (anterior, posterior, or combine), as well as thoracoplasty, have demonstrated significant effectiveness in managing severe and rigid idiopathic scoliosis. The combination of several of these methods can lead to optimal alignment correction without the need to perform high-risk techniques involving three-column osteotomies. Surgeons must customize the indications based on factors such as available resources, characteristics of the deformity, and the patient\u2019s individual profile. Surgical correction of severe scoliosis without vertebral body resection surgeries decreases the potential risks related to neurological and pulmonary complications while providing significant clinical improvement outcomes. The powerful Ponte osteotomy is indicated for severe scoliosis, curves with poor flexibility, for better restoration of hypokyphosis, and decrease of hyperkyphosis. These corrective techniques combined with HGT or temporary internal distraction rods are recommended as viable options for managing individuals with severe rigid spine deformity characteristics. Therefore, they also should be considered and performed by a proficient surgical team. The presence of neuromonitoring is crucial throughout these procedures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13164824","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,15]],"date-time":"2024-08-15T09:29:41Z","timestamp":1723714181000},"page":"4824","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Surgical Treatment Strategies for Severe and Neglected Spinal Deformities in Children and Adolescents without the Use of Radical Three-Column Osteotomies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7059-2935","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pawel","family":"Grabala","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology, Medical University of Bialystok Children\u2019s Clinical Hospital, Waszyngtona 17, 15-274 Bialystok, Poland"},{"name":"Paley European Institute, Al.
