Based on analysis of our series of 140 consecutive patients who all underwent POMR 6-18 months after TC release, we suggest that POMR as routine clinical practice is not justified for uncomplicated cases of TC release. In cases of high risk for retethering, or significant preoperative syrinx or dermoid, POMR is recommended to establish a baseline for future clinical follow-up.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
