RETROSPECTIVE STUDY: Clinical outcomes of cranio-spinal surgery in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and hypermobility syndrome

Study description:
Craniocervical instability (CCI) can be difficult to understand.
This retrospective study aims to examine how patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and hypermobility syndrome progress before and after CCI surgery.

Study population:
Patients who have undergone surgery for craniocervical instability at our center in
previous years, with a minimum postoperative period of 6 months and a maximum of 10 years since the intervention.

Procedures and data sources:
Participation in this study is limited exclusively to the review of clinical information
already available in the medical records and the completion of an online
questionnaire, in order to assess postoperative evolution and current quality of life.
No additional visits or interventions will be required, and no changes will be made to the usual clinical follow-up.

Confidentiality and data protection:
All data will be handled confidentially and in accordance with the current
regulations on personal data protection. All information will be coded and
anonymised, and no identifying data will be used in the analyses or in any
publications arising from the study.

Information and contact:
All patients operated on at our center who meet the above-mentioned inclusion
criteria have recently been contacted and invited to take part in this study.
If you have undergone surgery at our clinic in recent years and, for any reason, have
not received our message or have not been able to view it, and you would like to
receive further information about this study or confirm your participation, you can

ESTUDIO RETROSPECTIVO: Resultados clínicos de cirugías cráneo-espinales en
pacientes afectos de síndrome de Ehlers Danlos y síndrome de hipermovilidad.”

Descripción del estudio:

La inestabilidad cráneo-cervical (CCI) puede ser difícil de interpretar.

Este estudio se centra en el análisis de la evolución clínica previa y posterior a la
cirugía en pacientes con síndrome de Ehlers Danlos y síndrome de hipermovilidad
tratados en nuestra clínica.

Población de estudio:
Pacientes que han sido intervenidos quirúrgicamente por inestabilidad
craneocervical en nuestro centro en años previos, con un periodo postoperatorio
mínimo de 6 meses y máximo de 10 años desde la intervención.

Procedimiento y fuentes de datos:
La participación en este estudio se limita exclusivamente a la revisión de información clínica existente en las historias clínicas y a la cumplimentación de un cuestionario en línea, con el fin de evaluar la evolución postoperatoria y la calidad de vida actual. No se requerirán consultas ni intervenciones adicionales, ni se realizarán modificaciones en el seguimiento clínico habitual.

Confidencialidad y protección de datos:
Los datos serán tratados de forma confidencial y conforme a la normativa vigente en materia de protección de datos personales. Toda la información será codificada y anonimizada, y no se utilizarán datos identificativos en los análisis ni en las publicaciones derivadas del estudio.

With over a decade of dedicated specialization in neurosurgical conditions associated with connective tissue disorders, in our ongoing effort to better understand, diagnose, and treat these complex and often misunderstood conditions, we are pleased to announce that Dr. Vicenç Gilete—Medical Director of PromoHealth and Dr. Gilete Neurosurgery & Spine Surgery—has successfully completed advanced training in Immunology.
He has earned the HMX Pro Certificate in Immunology: Novel Therapies for Chronic Inflammation, Autoimmunity, and Allergy from Harvard Medical School.
This expanded expertise, informed by clinical experience, research, and continued medical education, strengthens our ability to address the biological drivers that may underlie or exacerbate mechanical conditions such as Craniocervical Instability (CCI) and Tethered Cord Syndrome. Our goal is to provide earlier and more accurate diagnoses that can lead to improved patient outcomes and potentially reduce the need for invasive surgical interventions.
Our clinic has increasingly encountered patients presenting with chronic immunological and inflammatory diseases. While many of these individuals do not meet the diagnostic criteria for a genetic connective tissue disorder, they often exhibit overlapping clinical features and comorbidities. Conditions such as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), Lyme disease, post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, and related disorders now comprise nearly half of our patient population.
We are now incorporating advanced diagnostic tools into our clinical practice, including biomarker screening for inflammatory, autoimmune, and autonomic dysfunction markers. Immunological checkpoints treatment modalities could be indicated in some cases. Both biological and biomechanical evaluation are important in the diagnosis and recommendations of non-surgical or/and surgical treatments for our patients.

Daar stonden we samen. Op een boot precies midden op de plek waarvoor we hierheen wilden: De Noorse fjorden.

Bij ons beiden stonden de tranen in de ogen, rolden ze over de wangen en we hielden elkaar zo stevig vast.
Ik sta (!) op deze boot, ik loop (!) en mijn hemel, wat leef ik!

Dagelijks spreken we onze dankbaarheid uit maar het dekt de lading gewoon niet voldoende. Maar wat een enorme dank voel ik weer naar Dr. Gilete. Die fantastische neurochirurg die precies zag wat er mis was en precies wist wat er nodig was!
En even grote dank aan onze familie en vrienden, die ons door dik en dun bleven steunen. En ook zo vreselijk veel dank aan de zovele donateurs.
Mede dankzij jullie allemaal leven wij nu onze droom! Dat is met geen woorden te omschrijven. Hopelijk zegt de foto precies wat wij voelen!
