In utero myelomeningocele repair reduces intensification of inflammatory changes in the dura mater and the skin.
Conclusions: By reducing the time of exposure to damaging factors, prenatal MMC repair statistically reduces the risk of inflammatory changes in the exposed spinal cord and spinal nerves. Prenatal closure of spina bifida before 24 week of gestation does not reduce the severity of inflammatory changes in the exposed spinal cord.
