Percutaneously Assisted "Two-Ports" Transperitoneal Radical Nephrectomy: Initial Series.

abstract：:Myelomeningocele (MMC) is characterized by paraplegia and incontinence, often necessitating surgery. Current models of MMC in sheep and primates create a spinal defect long after anomalous neural tube closure ordinarily occurs. An ideal model of MMC would allow creation of the defect at the earliest age in a low-cost ...
