The success of spina bifida treatment is directly related to the severity of the condition and the degree to which the nerves are affected. In cases where nerves are damaged to the extent that they completely lose their function, it is generally not possible to reverse this damage. In such cases, the primary goal of treatment is to preserve existing functions at the highest possible level and to prevent potential complications. After surgical intervention closes the nervous system to protect against infections, supportive treatments tailored to the patient's specific needs come into play. These treatments include physical therapy for muscle weakness, corrective orthopedic treatments for orthopedic problems, and therapies aimed at improving bladder and bowel control. Although some issues may not be apparent in the initial period, they can emerge as secondary problems over time. Examples include tethered cord syndrome, scoliosis or kyphosis that may develop during growth, and foot deformities. Additional treatment and interventions may be necessary for the management of these secondary conditions.
