Established in 1971, the SSN- accredited hospital is situated in milan, Italy and has 1350 beds.

Surgery for Spina Bifida aims to close the spinal defect, protect neural tissue, and reduce the risk of further neurological damage or complications. For open forms of spina bifida, timely repair may help protect the exposed spinal cord and nerves. Treatment planning also considers associated conditions such as hydrocephalus, Chiari II malformation, bladder and bowel dysfunction, orthopedic abnormalities, and lower-limb weakness, which may require ongoing multidisciplinary management.
