WhatsApp Us Spina bifida is a congenital disability when the spine and spinal cord don't form properly. This is a kind of birth defect that affects the neural tube. The neural tube is a structure in an unborn baby that develops into the brain, spinal cord, and surrounding tissues.
When the neural tube doesn't close all the way, the backbone protecting the spinal cord does not form and close as it should. This often results in damage to the nerves and the spinal cord.
The two main spina bifida treatment options are fetal surgery during pregnancy or surgery on the baby right after birth.
Spina Bifida surgery after birth (Postnatal Spina Bifida Repair)
During postnatal spina bifida surgery, your pregnancy is monitored, and a cesarean delivery is scheduled at 37 weeks.
Spina Bifida surgery before birth (Prenatal Spina Bifida Repair)
Prenatal repair of MMC prevents further damage as spinal cord damage progresses during gestation.
A prenatal repair could offer significantly better results than traditional postnatal repair:
The cost of Spina Bifida treatment includes the following:
The overall cost of the procedure also varies based on the patient's condition and preferences. Some of these factors are:
Certain tests are done before a spina bifida treatment, such as maternal blood tests, ultrasound, and maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP) test. The cost for these tests is generally included in the package.
All the medicines bought during the stay in the hospital are included in the package. When the patient is discharged, any medicines consumed outside the hospital are not covered in the package.
Babies who undergo post-natal surgery for spina bifida remain in the hospital for one to three weeks. After the surgery, the baby needs to spend 3-4 hours in the Post Anaesthetic Care Unit and then be monitored in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The surgeon needs to see the baby for follow-up four to six weeks after he goes home. The baby needs to visit sooner if stitches need to be removed.
