Meliva Kardiolita Hospital, Vilnius provides specialised Surgery for Spina Bifida with a focus on careful neural tissue preservation, precise spinal defect closure, advanced pediatric neurosurgical techniques, and individualized long-term follow-up. Established in 1998, the JCI accredited hospital is located in Vilnius, Lithuania and operates 36 beds, with modern neurosurgical, spinal imaging, neonatal, intensive-care, and rehabilitation infrastructure.

Surgery for Spina Bifida can help protect exposed spinal cord structures and manage complications associated with congenital spinal defects. Treatment planning considers the type of spina bifida, size and location of the defect, neurological function, presence of hydrocephalus, spinal cord abnormalities, age, and overall health. Detailed prenatal or postnatal imaging and multidisciplinary assessment help determine whether fetal repair, postnatal closure, or additional neurosurgical intervention is most appropriate.
