  • Title: Optimal wound closure after tethered cord correction. Technical note.
    Author: Zide BM, Epstein FJ, Wisoff J.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1991 Apr; 74(4):673-6. PubMed ID: 2002386.
    Abstract:
    A technique of wound closure following tethered cord correction is presented that significantly reduces the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid collections in the subcutaneous space. In over 60 cases, the described method of fascia and skin closure has lessened wound problems to a minimal level. Patient hospitalization time has also been greatly diminished.
