Yoli, an American patient with Peruvian origins, tells us about her experience with her disease 7 days after her surgery with the Sectioning of the Filum Terminale (SFT) according to the Filum System^® method.

The patient explains that she underwent a syringostomy surgery in the USA, but it was not successful and it left her sequelae like weakness in her right leg. For a while, she was looking for information for her rehabilitation and that was how an acquaintance informed her about the Filum System® procedure.

Then she began to look into the Institut Chiari de Barcelona and about the Doctor Royo-Salvador’s research and when she was confident enough about the information she had discovered, she decided to book an appointment for surgery.

She tells us that, after the surgery, she feels very well, with some positive changes. She adds that she is very grateful to all the staff at ICSEB and Hospital CIMA’s, especially to the neurosurgeon who performed the surgery and to Dr. Royo, who was she had the chance to meet in person.

“I am very happy and I want to give this testimony to the people who want to listen so that they can investigate and keep in mind that this a procedure that can help them a lot in their recovery… if anyone would like any information from me, I will gladly reply.”
