In cases where the spinal cord becomes tethered again after your initial surgery,
the surgery to can be repeated. Alternatively, a surgery can be performed to
remove a vertebra from your spine. This shortens your spine and can diminish
the tension on your stretched spinal cord and provide symptom relief. This
procedure is typically reserved for patients with multiple surgeries in the past
for tethered cord syndrome.
