VIDEO TESTIMONIALS OF PATIENTS OPERATED ON FOR SECTION OF THE EXTRADURAL FILUM TERMINALE WITH MINI-INVASIVE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE UNDER LOCAL ANESTHESIA.
PATHOLOGIES: tethered cord syndrome and occult tethered cord syndrome may be associated with a mild descent (from 1 to 4 mm) of the cerebellar tonsils (LLCT) or with Chiari malformation.
SYMPTOMS: for most patients, symptoms in the lumbar region and lower limbs only rarely prevent normal walking.
We filmed the few patients who, preoperatively, had symptoms that did not allow normal walking.
We filmed the patients after they underwent our innovative minimally invasive surgery for sectioning the extradural filum under local anesthesia, documenting the immediate benefits.
THE VIDEOS OF THE PATIENTS' TESTIMONIALS AND MY ORIGINAL TELEVISION INTERVIEWS ARE IN ITALIAN AND ARE PRESENT ON THIS PAGE.
THANKS TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, THEY ARE ALSO AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND FRENCH (SEE BOX BELOW).
CUTTING-EDGE SPINAL SURGERY
THE PATIENTS IN THE VIDEOS UNDERWENT MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY OF SECTIONING THE FILUM TERMINALE UNDER LOCAL ANESTHESIA.
THE SURGICAL PROCEDURE LASTS ABOUT 25 MINUTES, AFTER AN HOUR THE PATIENT CAN WALK, EAT AND DRINK.

In this playlist, you will find the following:
- TV interviews on occult tethered cord syndrome (OTCS) and tethered cord syndrome (TCS) treated with an innovative minimally invasive surgical procedure consisting of cutting the extradural Filum Terminale under local anaesthesia;
- Video testimonials in which it is possible to evaluate the postoperative clinical outcome of the extradural section of the filum terminale by the minimally invasive procedure under local anaesthesia in patients with preoperative gait disorders.

Case "ZERO" (a milestone for minimally invasive spinal surgery)
65-year-old man
Tethered cord syndrome
(S2)
Case "ZERO" is the first minimally invasive surgical treatment of extradural section of the filum terminale under local anesthesia in a patient confined to a wheelchair due to disabling symptoms that prevented him from walking.
The “ZERO” Case was the subject of a publication as a TECHNICAL CASE REPORT on the innovative minimally invasive surgical technique under local anesthesia, performed by us since 2010, in the prestigious international scientific journal:
OPERATIVE NEUROSURGERY
PATIENT HISTORY
REMOTE CHECK-UP AFTER SURGERY
(see video above)
A significant clinical improvement was observed at the 3- and 6-month follow-ups after surgery. The patient was no longer confined to bed or a wheelchair, was self-sufficient in personal care activities in daily life, and was able to walk, even if only for a few meters.
He no longer had dysesthesias and pain in the lower limbs and no longer experienced muscle cramps in the supine position that prevented him from sleeping. Muscle cramps occurred occasionally in the evening and were of mild intensity. There had been no change in the episodes of minimal and occasional urinary incontinence.
Active and passive mobilization of the lower limbs did not cause any symptoms and the patient had no muscle strength deficits.
