Congenital scoliosis is a congenital spinal deformity caused by abnormal embryonic development of the spine,while hemiver-tebrae resection is the main treatment.In recent years,hemivertebrae resection has changed in terms of operation stage,surgical approach and fusion mode.For this reason,the evolution of hemivertebrae resection,the combination of pedicle screw internal fixation techniques,rel-evant new techniques and concepts,as well as common causes of failure and improvement plans for hemivertebrae resection are described in this paper,and the research progress of hemivertebrae resection in the treatment of congenital scoliosis(CS)is also reviewed.
