Tethered cord syndrome (TCS) is a syndrome that results in a series of neurological dysfunction and deformities due to various congenital and postnatal reasons, such as traction of the spinal cord or conus, low position of the end of the spinal cord, ischemia, hypoxia and degeneration of nerve tissue in the spinal cord. The sooner the disease is treated, the better. In clinical practice, surgery is usually used to remove osteophytes, fibrous septum, dural sleeves, release fibrous neurovascular bundles and their adhesions, and remove the tethering of the spinal cord. However, the operation is complex and the incidence rate of postoperative complications is high. Therefore, effective nursing is required during the perioperative period to reduce the difficulty of operation and complications. The purpose of this article is to elaborate the perioperative nursing of tethered cord syndrome, so as to provide reference for the treatment and nursing of tethered cord syndrome.
