A member asked:
Did medical science find a way yet to repair the neural damage caused by spina bifida?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spina bifida: We are a long way away from repairing the damage due to a myelomeningocele or spina bifida - to repair the damage one has to be able to regenerate the damaged nerve tissue and then get it to perform the neurological function that it is suppose to do - it will be sometime before that happens.
