Gleneagles Hospital provides specialized Spinal Cord Detethering with an emphasis on precise release of tethered spinal structures, preservation of neurological function, and personalized recovery support. Established in 1959, the JCI accredited hospital is based in Singapore, Singapore and has 258 beds supported by modern neurosurgical and spinal facilities.

Spinal Cord Detethering involves surgically releasing abnormal attachments that prevent the spinal cord from moving normally within the spinal canal. Tethering can be associated with conditions such as spina bifida, lipomyelomeningocele, a thickened filum terminale, or postoperative scarring. Before surgery, MRI and neurological assessment are used to evaluate spinal anatomy and symptoms. During detethering, the surgeon carefully releases the tethering structures while minimizing injury to the spinal cord and nerve roots. Follow-up and rehabilitation are tailored to the patient's neurological and functional needs.
