Abstract

A new method for the repair of meningomyeloceles is described. After neurosurgical repair and closure of the placode, the soft-tissue deficit is closed using a bilobed flap. The flap is based superiorly and laterally to the area to be covered. The first lobe crosses the midline above the defect, and the second lobe goes up the midline perpendicular to the first lobe. Once in place, the flap provides a tension-free repair; no suture lines overlie the cord closure.
