چکیده
Figure 1. Sacral wound after debridement and prior to flap coverage, 15 × 12 cm 2 in size that tunneled superiorly. Potential right and left rotational flaps were designed on the basis of the gluteal arteries that were identified by Doppler ultrasonography. The dotted line marks the scar from the original MMC repair used for exploration of the pseu-domeningocele. MMC indicates myelomeningocele.

متن کاملNeurological Outcomes after Human Umbilical Cord Patch for In Utero Spina Bifida Repair in a Sheep Model
OBJECTIVES The objective of our study was to test the hypothesis that in utero repair of surgically created spina bifida in a sheep model using cryopreserved human umbilical cord (HUC) patch improves neurological outcome. METHODS Spina bifida with myelotomy was surgically created in timed pregnant ewes at gestational day (GD) 75. The fetuses were randomly assigned to unrepaired versus HUC and...
متن کاملPeritoneal dialysis in a patient with neurogenic bladder and chronic kidney disease with ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
Long-term dialysis in children with multiple handicaps has become easier with the advent of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (PD). Due to the widespread use of PD and the long survival of patients with spina bifida, an increasing number of patients with spina bifida are on PD. The viability and safety of PD in spina bifida patients with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) have been a ma...
