kakkieko · 10-05-2001, 02:10 PM

hi, i went to see dr. wilberger in pittsburgh today. he will operate on my tethered cord but first he wants me to have a myeleogram. he says he can't detect for certain whether i also have a syrinx on the mri. the tethering is very clear on my mri. he also mentioned that there is a dr. in miami who is very good at these surgeries and he will talk with him before i have mine. do you know who that might be? well, thanks for all the help so far. kathy

There are several at Miami who do this surgery, but perhaps Dr. Barth Green is the best known.
