If you have a spinal fusion, which is the most common surgery, you are not in a cast at all, you are wrapped in an ice pack and usually stay in the hospital for 4-10 days.
no that is not true i had surgery for scoliosis where they put 2 rods in my back and a bunch of pins and all of that im pretty sure that is called spinal fusion! and i didnt have to wear a brace afterwards or an icepack it was a tough surgery but i will never have to wear a brace again at least and its almost been 6 months since my surgery and i am already dancing swimming and everything else a kid does so you never have to wear a brace again after scoliosis surgery! and i was only in the hospital for a week! maybe not even probaly 5 days cause i had an awesome doctor!

How long do you need to keep rods in your back from scoliosis surgery?
I have talked to my doctor and have asked the same question. The rods for scoliosis must be left in for your entire life. they will never be removed. He also said that the rods are not uncomfortable, so you do not notice that they are even there. However, you may loose a bit of flexibility from scoliosis surgery.
