Abstract

Objective To demonstrate how a surgical task force can help provide access to surgical procedures for many patients waiting for surgery in the Brazilian Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS, in Portuguese) waiting list.

Methods This is a retrospective cohort study involving 28 patients on the SUS waiting list included in a pediatric scoliosis surgery task force. We analyzed medical records, epidemiological data, and clinical and radiographic outcomes.

Results The data showed that the postoperative outcomes of curve correction and complications, such as infections, surgical wounds, pain, or other events, were consistent with the literature on the subject.

Conclusion Therefore, we believe a task force is critical for facilitating access to surgical procedures and restoring the quality of life of hundreds of patients.

Financial Support
