Britain offers free backbone surgeries in her mother's womb

Officials from the British National Health Service (NHS) announced that the agency would offer them a spinal cord surgery to protect them from the risk of spinal cord injury.

This type of surgery is aimed at correcting abnormalities of the fetal spinal cord, which ensures that the fetus will be able to walk later and reduce the health problems caused by spinal cord rupture.

The availability of this type of surgery in the hospitals of the Health Services Authority is part of a new set of procedures and treatments that will provide the Commission to citizens for the first time from next April.

Every year in the UK, more than 200 children with spinal cord rupture are born in the UK, where their spine and spine are not fully formed during pregnancy, leaving a deformity in the spine of the spine. # 39; embryo.

This imbalance often leads to diseases such as paralysis, incontinence and sometimes learning difficulties. These diseases were usually treated after birth, but the sooner they were treated, the better the health and long-term mobility of the children.

Two fetal spine surgeries were performed for the first time in the UK earlier this year at University College London Hospital, after patients had already traveled abroad for such surgeries.

Causes that can lead to fetal injury are known, but lack of folic acid can increase the risk of infection.

"Although prenatal surgery is not a cure for spinal cord rupture and is not suitable for all pregnant women, any medical progress can improve the health and social status of any child with a break-up. The Shane Foundation welcomes this progress. "

Treatment can change lives patients

Health services will also periodically offer antiretrovirals for the treatment of epilepsy of genetic origin, responsible for the growth of benign tumors in the body and brain, called dorsal stenosis.

The drugs will benefit more than 300 people, mostly children, as they will reduce the number and severity of seizures in children.

"We are delighted that the British healthcare system has decided to fund this treatment, which will change and save the lives of patients starting in April 2019," said Louise Fish, Executive Director of the Derby Sclerosis Association.

"We will be working with multiple sclerosis clinics across Britain to help them describe this treatment to more patients who can benefit," said Fish.
