NMC Chronic Care Specialized Hospital provides specialized Spinal Cord Detethering with a focus on releasing abnormal tension on the spinal cord, protecting neurological function, and reducing symptoms associated with tethered cord syndrome. Established in 2013, the CBAHI accredited hospital is located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and operates 120 beds with advanced neurosurgical and spinal care facilities.
Spinal Cord Detethering is a neurosurgical procedure used to release the spinal cord when it is abnormally attached to surrounding tissues and cannot move freely within the spinal canal. This condition, known as tethered cord syndrome, may be congenital or develop after previous spinal surgery or scarring. During surgery, the neurosurgeon carefully identifies and releases the tissue anchoring the spinal cord, aiming to reduce tension and prevent further neurological deterioration.

At Riyadh Care Hospital, Spinal Cord Detethering is performed using advanced microsurgical techniques and individualized neurological assessment. Established in 1990, the JCI accredited hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia has 325 beds and provides comprehensive neurosurgical, pediatric, and rehabilitation services.
Spinal Cord Detethering may be recommended for patients with symptomatic tethered cord syndrome, particularly when progressive neurological, bladder, bowel, or orthopedic problems are present. Through a carefully planned spinal approach, the surgeon identifies the structures attaching the spinal cord and releases them to reduce abnormal tension. In some cases, associated abnormalities such as a fatty filum or scar tissue may also be addressed. MRI and neurological evaluation help determine the need and extent of surgery.
Care national Hospital provides specialized Spinal Cord Detethering with a focus on releasing abnormal tension on the spinal cord, protecting neurological function, and reducing symptoms associated with tethered cord syndrome. Established in 2003, the JCI accredited hospital is located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and operates 460 beds with advanced neurosurgical and spinal care facilities.

NMC As Salama Hospital offers dedicated Spinal Cord Detethering supported by experienced neurosurgeons, advanced spinal imaging, and specialized intraoperative monitoring. Established in 2001, the CBAHI accredited hospital is situated in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia and has 120 beds supporting specialized spinal cord care.
Spinal Cord Detethering is designed to free a spinal cord that has become abnormally fixed within the spinal canal. It may be performed in patients with congenital tethering or acquired tethering caused by scar tissue or previous spinal procedures. During surgery, the surgeon exposes the affected spinal structures and carefully separates the spinal cord from the tissue causing the tethering. Neuromonitoring may be used during the operation to help protect important neural pathways.
Choosing NMC Al Qadi Specialty Hospital for Spinal Cord Detethering gives patients access to specialist-led tethered cord surgery, advanced microsurgical equipment, and coordinated postoperative neurological care. Established in 1980, the JCI accredited hospital is located in Najran, Saudi Arabia and operates 100 beds with modern neurosurgical infrastructure.
Spinal Cord Detethering may help relieve the abnormal stretching of the spinal cord caused by tethering to nearby tissues. Depending on the underlying cause, the surgeon may release a tight filum terminale, separate scar tissue, or address other structures restricting spinal cord movement. The goal is to reduce ongoing neurological stress and, when possible, prevent progression of symptoms. Postoperative monitoring focuses on neurological function, wound healing, and bladder or bowel symptoms when affected.
