Fatty filum terminale is a form of spinal dysraphism and a third of all patients develop symptoms such as sensory, motor, and urinary impairment. Early surgery at 6 months has the advantage that the bone density is still soft, and the patients are not ambulatory yet, promoting faster healing.
We present our minimal invasive surgical technique for FFT untethering.
Due to the low complication rate and the potentially high benefit of surgery, prophylactic untethering is recommended.
终丝脂肪脊是一种脊髓发育畸形,三分之一的患者会出现感觉、运动和排尿障碍等症状。6 个月时进行早期手术的优势在于骨质密度仍然较软,且患者还不会行走,有利于更快恢复。
我们介绍了终丝松解的微创外科技术。
由于手术并发症发生率低,潜在获益高,建议预防性松解。
