In the treatment of spina bifida, the primary goal is the surgical closure of the opening in the spinal cord. This procedure is generally performed through surgery. As spina bifida presents a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, a multidisciplinary approach to its treatment is essential. Collaboration among various specialties in planning treatment is critically important to maximize patients' quality of life.
For milder cases of the disease, treatment focuses on alleviating symptoms and managing the effects of the condition. In such instances, physiotherapy and medical treatment methods may be applied. Furthermore, to prevent and manage potential complications, patients may require these treatments throughout their lives.
