Finally we got our hands on writing about the treatment of our child at the Sant Joan de Deu Barselona hospital. I would like to say once again a huge thank you to Bookimed for the help in choosing a clinic. This is not just a hospital, THIS IS A SUPER HOSPITAL !!! To be honest, they did not even expect that medicine could be of such a high level. About the staff separately: from nurses to professors of the clinic, damn well, all simple, normal, kind people. I have never seen such attention to a child, literally everything is scheduled by the minute, everyone is smiling, joking. In general, the little one did not understand that he had undergone a complex operation on the spinal cord. After the operation and coming out of complex anesthesia, the child never even cried and did not experience any pain (except for changing the dressing, removing the adhesive plaster). The hospital itself is huge, EVERYTHING FOR CHILDREN, everything is in pictures, slides, balls, a dinosaur farm. Everything has been done so that the children would not be afraid of doctors, etc. And a special BIG THANKS to our neurosurgeon Jose Hinojosa Mena-Bernal with a capital letter. This is a man with golden hands and a kind heart (just works wonders)! The child began to walk on his own 5 days after the operation. Thanks to Mikki, the resuscitator, a young guy who looked after the little one after the operation, like his son. And also the hospital's translator, Mikhail, who, together with us, empathized with everything that happened, thanks to nurse Svetlana who helped in all matters related to caring for the little one, including as an interpreter, and just a good kind woman.

\nWhat patients don't like
\nTreatment of spina bifida (spina bifida) depends on the severity of the disease, the accompanying symptoms, and the age of the patient. The main method is surgery to close spina bifida. It must be carried out in the first few hours or days after the birth of the child. This will help reduce the risk of infection and spinal cord injury.
During the operation to treat spina bifida in children, the neurosurgeon correctly places the spinal cord and exposed tissues of the spine, covers them with muscles and skin. Sometimes a special shunt may be needed to avoid cerebral hydrocephalus.
If the surgical treatment of spina bifida in a child is not carried out in time, the disease progresses rapidly. Because of this, orthopedic rehabilitation, urological and gastroenterological treatment, and surgery to get rid of paralysis may be needed in the future.
Treatment for spina bifida in adults depends on the symptoms. The patient may be prescribed physiotherapy and anti-inflammatory drugs, which will stop the further development of the disease. Surgical treatment is rarely performed by doctors, only if there is a risk of damage to the spinal cord.
Treatment of spina bifida in the fetus is possible between 19 and 25 weeks of the mother's pregnancy. Doctors perform prenatal surgery, during which they restore the baby's spinal cord right in the womb. According to studies, these children have a 2-fold lower risk of hydrocephalus and other symptoms than with surgery immediately after birth.

"}}},"faq":[{"id":"6a1c867e0fc14b6f230dfa74","question":"Which Spanish hospitals are internationally recognized for pediatric spina bifida treatment?","answer":"SJD Barcelona Children’s Hospital and Centro Médico Teknon are premier Spanish centers for pediatric spina bifida. These facilities provide advanced in-utero fetal surgery and complex neurosurgical repairs. They maintain high ratings and international accreditations like Joint Commission International to ensure patient safety and quality.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While many seek out Madrid for its volume, Barcelona holds a unique advantage for prenatal cases. SJD Barcelona and Centro Médico Teknon are situated in a hub where robotic-assisted tools like the Mazor Renaissance are standard. Data shows Teknon was the first in Southern Europe to implement this tech, which is vital for pediatric spinal precision.
Patient Consensus: Parents describe the environment at SJD Barcelona as a super hospital where medical staff use games and slides to reduce childhood anxiety. They note that complex spinal cord operations are managed so well that children often recover without experiencing significant pain.
","is_active":true,"category":{"id":"68f5f2ea1567cb687e0a7542","name":"faq_content","title":"faq_content"}},{"id":"6a1c873e0fc14b6f230dfa78","question":"What qualifications should parents check when selecting a Spanish neurosurgeon for spina bifida repair?","answer":"Parents should verify a neurosurgeon has completed MIR training in neurosurgery and holds membership in the Spanish Society of Pediatric Neurosurgery (SENEPE). Surgeons must be registered with the Spanish Society of Neurosurgery (SENEC). Prioritize specialists practicing at JCI-accredited centers like Centro Médico Teknon or SJD Barcelona.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data suggests that selecting an institution like SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital, which handles over 14,000 operations annually, provides a significant safety advantage. Their specialized focus on patients under 18 years old ensures that every staff member, from resuscitators to nurses, is an expert in neonatal and pediatric recovery. This concentration of expertise often leads to faster recovery times, such as children walking within 5 days post-surgery.
Patient Consensus: Parents emphasize that the child's comfort depends on a hospital environment designed for children, featuring themes like dinosaurs to reduce fear. Many note that a kind, attentive staff helps children recover with minimal emotional distress after complex spinal cord procedures.

Specialized centers like Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona Children Hospital and Vall d Hebron use prenatal surgery to close spinal defects. This intervention protects the spinal cord from amniotic fluid damage during pregnancy.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Spain remains a top destination for complex pediatric cases because centers like Sant Joan de Déu handle 4,000 children annually. Data shows that high-volume academic hospitals often maintain 800+ specialized doctors. This concentration of expertise allows for rapid multi-disciplinary evaluation within the tight 6-week surgical window. Choosing a center with ISO and JCI accreditations ensures the highest safety standards for both mother and baby.
Patient Consensus: Parents emphasize that every week is critical because referral delays can lead to losing eligibility for prenatal repair. They note that centers designed specifically for children help reduce a child's fear through supportive, kid-friendly environments.

Experts specialize in early prenatal correction to improve neurological outcomes. These methods differ by uterine access, including small incisions or endoscopic ports, and affect future delivery options.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While many focus on the method, the facility's pediatric volume is a critical quality signal. SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital serves 450,000 patients annually and performs 14,000 operations. This high volume across a dedicated 800-doctor team provides experience that general hospitals cannot easily match for complex fetal neurosurgery.
Patient Consensus: Parents describe these facilities as supportive environments where specialists like Dr. Jose Hinojosa Mena-Bernal perform life-changing procedures. They emphasize that while the surgery is complex, children often show mobility improvements within days of delivery or birth.

While prenatal surgery reduces some risks, postnatal repair is a standard, effective approach. It prioritizes maternal safety and allows the pregnancy to reach full term, avoiding extreme prematurity complications.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Spain hosts one of Europe’s top 3 pediatric institutions, Sant Joan de Déu – Barcelona Children's Hospital. It handles 450,000 patient visits annually. This high volume is crucial because neurosurgeons in such centers manage complex cases daily. Choosing a tertiary center with massive patient influx often ensures integrated access to neonatal intensive care and specialized rehabilitation teams immediately after the initial spinal closure.
Patient Consensus: Parents note that children can begin walking just days after successful surgery. They emphasize that while the wait for birth is stressful, seeing the child active soon after recovery provides immense relief.
