Symptomatic and Urodynamic Outcomes After Spinal Cord De‐Tethering in Primary Tethered Cord Patients

Key Points

The aim is to assess the relationship between age at spinal cord de-tethering surgery and postoperative genitourinary symptoms.
Analysis of symptomatic outcomes following surgery
Evaluation of preoperative urodynamic studies
Comparison between younger and older age groups
Younger patients show greater improvement in genitourinary symptoms post-surgery
Preoperative urodynamic studies do not reliably predict outcomes
Age appears to be a significant factor in recovery

Abstract

Younger age at de-tethering surgery is associated with improvement in genitourinary symptoms. Preoperative urodynamic studies may not be predictive of postoperative outcomes.
