The evolution of technology has made new surgical techniques available for the treatment of diseases associated with the Spina Bifida malformation, and this is especially true in hydrocephalus and fetal surgery. The progress in this last field and in prenatal diagnosis have raised the significant problem of the effectiveness and usefulness of in utero surgical treatment of the malformation, that are extensively discussed in this well-illustrated volume. Also highlighted are the clinical situations that can be seen in adolescents or young adults with spina bifida, including sexuality and pregnancy. The aim of this book to promote a multidisciplinary approach to Spina Bifida, providing the three main specialists categories involved - neurosurgeon, orthopaedic surgeons, and urologists - with a concise reference that explains the main clinical problems to be faced in everyday clinical practice and with an updated overview of surgical approaches.
