facilities, all the neural elements were identified and the spinal
cord at its attachment to the most caudal point of the cul-de-sac,
immediately after giving the last roots from both sides, it was
detached from the dura, after what it jumped 10 mm above the level.
Further neurolysis and bisecting the tethering secondary bands, it
