At Taoufik Clinique, Surgery for Spina Bifida is performed using specialised neurosurgical and pediatric spinal techniques with comprehensive neurological and imaging assessment. Established in 1979, this ISO accredited hospital in Tunis, Tunisia has 180 beds and offers advanced pediatric neurosurgery, spinal surgery, and multidisciplinary rehabilitation services.

Surgery for Spina Bifida may be considered when a child has an open neural tube defect such as myelomeningocele or develops complications affecting the spinal cord and cerebrospinal fluid circulation. During postnatal repair, the surgeon carefully closes the spinal defect and covers the exposed neural structures with surrounding tissue. Additional procedures may be required to manage hydrocephalus, tethered spinal cord, or other associated complications.
