Popis: Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of posterior unilateral vertebral column resection (PUVCR) as revision surgery for severe thoracolumbar angular kyphosis. Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. Adult patients undergoing revision surgery for severe thoracolumbar angular kyphosis in 2010–2016 with ≥2-year follow-up at our institution were assessed. Perioperative complications and clinical outcomes, including blood loss, operation time, Visual Analog Scale score, Oswestry Disability Index, and preoperative and postoperative kyphotic angles, were analyzed. Results: This study included 58 patients who were divided into the PUVCR group and the posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) group. Age (P=0.810), sex distribution (P=0.500), and vertebrae that underwent surgery (P=0.638) were similar in the 2 groups. Shorter mean operation time was observed in the PUVCR group as compared with the PVCR group (P
