Direct spinal anaesthesia for repair of myelomeningocele.
In 12 patients who were studied after therapy was stopped the incidence of sex chromatin was found to return to the normal female range. In six patients in whom the smears were studied at intervals of four days for 32 days during therapy the sex-chromatin incidence showed a rapid initial fall noticed within the first four days, and then minor fluctuations without further fall during the continu...
متن کاملLarge myelomeningocele repair
BACKGROUND Wound closure is accomplished in most cases of myelomeningocele (MMC) by undermining of the skin edges surrounding the defect. However, large defects cannot be closed reliably by this simple technique. Due to the technical challenge associated with large MMC, surgeons have devised different methods for repairing large defects. In this paper, we report our experience of managing large...

متن کاملSpinal anaesthesia.
Spinal anaesthesia is normally performed by puncture of the dura and arachnoid mater in the lumbar region, and local anaesthetic is introduced directly into the eerebrospinal fluid (CSF) surrounding the nerve roots and spinal cord. The solution will spread longitudinally through the CSF and the drug will be taken up by the neuronal tissue. Whether an effective concentration results in a particu...
متن کاملClosure of Myelomeningocele Defects Using a Limberg Flap or Direct Repair.
BACKGROUND The global prevalence of myelomeningocele has been reported to be 0.8-1 per 1,000 live births. Early closure of the defect is considered to be the standard of care. Various surgical methods have been reported, such as primary skin closure, local skin flaps, musculocutaneous flaps, and skin grafts. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics of myelomeningocele ...
