Spina Bifida is a congenital condition that can be rectified with spinal column surgery. During the procedure, the surgeons close the spinal opening, which is not fully closed during the development of the fetus. An expert neurosurgeon works on the patient to close the opening and protect the exposed tissues and nerves.
Surgery for Spina Bifida can be suggested to rectify the following spinal conditions:
After undergoing Spina Bifida surgery, a hospital stay of a few days is a must to observe the healing and check for sensory functions. After a few days, the patient is discharged from the hospital and recommended to resume only light activities and avoid putting any pressure on the surgical site. Physical therapy is an important part of the recovery process for Spina Bifida patients, as it improves mobility and strengthens muscles. Regular follow-up appointments with the surgical team are a must to check on the healing progress. The long-term management of Spina Bifida may involve ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, and support to optimize the individual's quality of life.
