MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY FOR EXTRADURAL SECTION OF THE FILUM TERMINALE UNDER LOCAL ANESTHESIA AND MASS MEDIA
Spinal surgery is a constantly evolving field, thanks to technological advancements and the spread of cutting-edge techniques.
One of the most promising developments is minimally invasive surgery, which offers numerous advantages over traditional techniques.
Minimally invasive surgery is distinguished by the use of smaller incisions and specialised instruments, which reduce trauma to surrounding tissue. This approach not only speeds up patient recovery but also reduces the risk of post-operative complications. The procedure is often performed under local anaesthesia, allowing the patient to remain alert and actively participate in the recovery process.
The media plays a crucial role in disseminating information about new surgical techniques. Through articles, videos, and interviews with experts, patients can learn about available options and about minimally invasive spinal surgery. This increased awareness leads to greater demand for cutting-edge procedures, helping to improve the quality of life of many individuals with spinal disorders.
The combination of mass media, spinal surgery, and cutting-edge techniques, such as minimally invasive surgery for extradural sectioning of the filum terminale under local anaesthesia, represents a significant step toward improving surgical procedures and patient health. It is essential to continue disseminating this information to ensure patients have access to the best treatment options available.

Topics covered included OCCULT TEETHED CORD and the minimally invasive surgical technique under local anesthesia for sectioning the extradural filum terminale through the sacral hiatus.

"New innovative technique for the treatment of a rare spinal cord disease, Faenza is ahead of everyone.
Innovative treatment method for a rare condition, OCCULT TETHERED CORD, at the Faenza hospital.
It is performed by Vanni Veronesi."

Patients from all over the world, affected by the rare pathology of "occult tethered cord," come to be operated on at the Faenza Hospital with the minimally invasive and innovative surgical technique of extradurally sectioning the filum terminale under local anesthesia.
The last foreign patient operated on from the American continent was a 36-year-old man who arrived last March from the United States of America, but since the beginning of 2019, two Brazilian patients aged 49 and 28 have also undergone surgery.
