Tethered Cord - A Personal Story
UK neurosurgeons with an interest in tethered cords
Most neurosurgeons dealing with spina bifida will encounter the complication of cord tethering. However, many have taken this specialism further and have a special interest in tethered spinal cords, all the associated problems, and the need for detethering surgery. In the table below you will find the names and contact address of neurosurgeons in the UK who have this special interest.
I have sought and obtained their permission to display their details on this site. Any contact with them, for a second opinion, for example, should be through your general practitioner (GP). There is no established protocol for international second opinion referrals, but your GP should be advised of your intentions
