Traumatologia XXI offers dedicated Spinal Cord Detethering supported by experienced neurosurgeons, advanced spinal imaging, and specialized intraoperative monitoring. Established in 0, the accredited hospital is situated in Bilbao, Spain and it has adequate bed capacity 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.
