Spine detethering surgery is used for pulling down and fixing the spinal canal. The spinal cord deeply floats inside the spinal canal. It is also known as tethered spinal cord.
Tethered spinal cord syndrome is a syndrome of neurological disorder which is caused by tissue attachment which limit the movement of spinal cord. They cause abnormal stretching of the spinal cord.
Some of the symptoms of tethered spinal cord are back pain, weakness, numbness in legs, tremors and spasm in leg muscles, change in way your feet look and loss of bladder and bowel control.
Patient with tethered cord surgery shows pain that is most effectively treated with symptoms whose success rate is in between 48 to 100percent.
When tethered cord occurs there is no movement of spinal cord within the spinal column. When child begins to grow the spinal cord get stretched and may not work properly, a surgery may be needed to move the spinal cord freely.
The complication rate of the surgery is only 1-2%. Some of the complications includes infection, bleeding and damage to spinal cord which can decrease muscle strength and bladder and bowel functions.
Symptoms of tethered cord develops slowly and if it is left untreated it can become more severe. Some of the symptoms of tethered spinal cord includes back, which radiates to legs, hips, rectal and genital areas.
Tethered spinal cord surgery lasts for about two to four hours, even though child has to stay in hospital for four to seven day after surgery.
First an incision is made in the back and a piece of bone is cut from spinal column where spinal cord is tethered. Then the surgeon will cut and release what is holding cord to spinal column. After which the spinal cord moves freely.
This surgery aims to correct the spinal curvature and to maintain the natural growth of the spine, its mobility and function.
You have to stay in hospital for about four to seven days after surgery. You have to lay flat in your bed for about 24 to 72 hours after surgery.
It will take few weeks for the incisions and the muscles to heal completely. You have to limit your physical activity during this recovery period.
You should call your doctor if you experience some symptoms such as sign of infection, redness, swelling, bulging near the incision, numbness and tingling sensation.
Pain and swelling are very common for the first few days of the surgery. Medicines will help in recovery.
