We are excited to announce the release of the new clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and management of spinal dysraphism in children and adolescents, with a strong focus on urological health! 🩺💧
These groundbreaking guidelines address key challenges in the care of children with spinal dysraphism, ensuring a holistic approach to:
✅ Early identification of urological complications, including neurogenic bladder and voiding dysfunction. ✅ Standardised evaluation protocols, including urodynamic studies, imaging, and urinary tract monitoring.
✅ Comprehensive management strategies to prevent renal deterioration and improve bladder function. ✅ Recommendations for long-term surveillance to optimise urological outcomes into adolescence and beyond.
Urological complications are among the most significant challenges faced by children with spinal dysraphism. By emphasising early diagnosis and proactive care, these guidelines aim to protect kidney health, preserve bladder function, and improve the quality of life for children and their families.
