Morphometric analysis of the spinal cord in patients undergoing posterior vertebral column subtraction osteotomy for recurrent tethered cord syndrome
This study provides novel insights into the morphometric changes induced by PVCSO and their correlation with clinical outcomes in patients with TCS. The procedure effectively increased spinal cord dimensions, alleviating tension and offering potential benefits in symptom relief. The study underscores the need for objective metrics to guide surgical decision-making and enhance the long-term success of PVCSO in the management of TCS.
