Check it Out! Experimental Surgery in China for Spina Bifida Raising Hope




According to the Spina Bifida Association (SBA), spina bifida is the most common, permanently disabling birth defect in the United States.  It affects 7 out of every 10,000 live births and there is no known cure, making prevention key.
