Surgery for Spina Bifida is performed according to the child's specific spinal anatomy and clinical condition. For newborns with an open spinal lesion, surgery typically involves repositioning and protecting exposed neural tissue before closing the surrounding membranes, muscles, and skin. In selected cases, fetal surgery may be considered during pregnancy at specialized centers. Following repair, patients may require monitoring and treatment for hydrocephalus, tethered cord, mobility problems, bladder and bowel dysfunction, and other long-term effects.
