What are the tools used in an operation for spina bifida?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A lot: That's a complicated question with spinal bifida being a broad phrase covering a lot of different problems in the spine. Sometimes a microscope is used. Usually we use everything we normally use for most spine surgeries and occasionally some micro instruments for delicate work.
