Liv Hospital Ulus 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 JCI accredited hospital is located in Istanbul, Turkey and operates 154 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.
