However, during the pandemic, it is still required to be able to provide good non-emergency services with excellent quality to be able to improve the quality of life of the community. To analyze the characteristics of scoliosis correction surgery in Kariadi Hospital in Semarang period March 2020 – March 2021. Descriptive analysis was conducted on 12 scoliosis patients who underwent surgery at Kariadi Hospital Semarang between March 2020 – March 2021. Evaluation of the characteristics of scoliosis correction surgery was carried out by comparing the number of patient visits before the pandemic and during the COVID-19 pandemic and Cobb Angle pre and post surgery on patients undergoing surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic. The mean Cobb Angle of scoliosis patients was 54.23 ± 10.17 before surgery and 26.15 ± 10.02 after surgery (p < 0.05). The majority of patients in this study had severe scoliosis (84.6%), there was no relationship between gender and age with the severity of scoliosis (p>0.05). This study shows a decrease in the number of visits during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the operations carried out during the COVID-19 period have significant differences between pre and post-operative Cobb Angle.
