Spina Bifida and Neurogenic Bladder in Children

Spina bifida is the most common cause of a neurogenic bladder in children. Our providers specialize in all aspects of medical and surgical care for patients with spina bifida.

At your child’s initial evaluation, diagnostic testing and a complete physical exam will be performed to establish a comprehensive and individualized treatment plan, which may include urinary tract infection management, bowel program or institution of clean intermittent catheterization.

Our pediatric urologists work closely with the other pediatric specialists, such as neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, physical and occupational therapists, social workers and equipment specialists, to provide multidisciplinary care for your child's unique needs. In addition, nurse coordinators manage and coordinate all aspect of your child’s care.
