At Krabi Nakharin International Hospital, Spinal Cord Detethering is performed using advanced microsurgical techniques and individualized neurological assessment. Established in 1997, the JCI accredited hospital in Krabi, Thailand has 150 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.
