Clinical reflections on single event multilevel surgery in children with cerebral palsy: a case series of 10 patients

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Single event multilevel surgery (SEMLS) is a comprehensive orthopedic surgical approach designed to correct multiple musculoskeletal deformities in a single operative session in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). This journal reflects on the principles, benefits, limitations, and a clinical case outcome of SEMLS, with emphasis on functional improvement and rehabilitation challenges. SEMLS remains a gold standard surgical approach in moderate to severe spastic CP cases with multilevel involvement. Long-term success hinges on meticulous planning, postoperative care, and patient compliance with rehabilitation protocols.
