When surgery is necessary
Spinal surgery carries many risks, so your doctor may recommend surgery only if you or your child has any of the following:

A curvature greater than 75 degrees
Kyphosis that continues to worsen
Debilitating pain that doesn't respond to medication
Neurological problems, such as paralysis, as a result of the kyphosis
Your doctor may recommend surgery if you have an infant with congenital kyphosis, in order to straighten the spine.

The goal of surgery is to reduce the degree of curvature. This is commonly done by fusing or joining the affected vertebrae. Doctors typically perform the surgery through incisions in the back, using general anesthetic.

Fusing the vertebrae involves connecting two or more of them with pieces of bone taken from the pelvis. Eventually, the vertebrae fuse with the bone pieces to prevent further progression of the curve. Doctors attach metal rods, hooks, screws or wires to the spine to hold the vertebrae together while the bones fuse, which may take several months. Doctors leave the metal in the body to help support the fused area even after the bones have fused.

A drawback of spinal fusion is that it stops growth in that area of the spine. A child's ultimate height isn't affected greatly because the leg bones and the unaffected portion of the spine continue to grow normally.

The complication rate for spinal surgery is high. Complications include bleeding, infection, pain, nerve damage, arthritis and disk degeneration. If the surgery fails to correct the problem, a second surgery may be needed.

Sorry that I can't help you out more. But maybe this will help you out a little.

I found this site that had a lot of info on these problems you are asking about.

Then in the search you put in the name kyphosis and it does say they do surgery on that area and place rods in the spine buy if you check around in this site you may find more answers of trials of people that have had the procedure.
hope this helped.
