The split spine, also known as spina bifida, is a mass that primarily occurs in the back, neck, and hip areas during a child's growth in the mother's womb. This mass grows with the child, and problems begin to manifest as they age. It starts to compress blood vessels, damages the spinal cord, resulting in delayed walking, delayed growth, physical deformities, and the crucial aspect of split spine surgery is not harming the child during the mass removal. Depending on the location of the mass, damage to the vascular nerve can cause irreparable harm to the child. They may suffer from paralysis, loss of vision, or loss of speech. For this reason, neurological monitoring, vein Doppler, vein, and nerve examinations must be utilized during the child's surgery. These systems will prevent damage to the spinal column's supply systems, such as blood vessels and nerves. It is essential for a successful operation. After the operation, the child must undergo intensive physiotherapy and rehabilitation to completely eliminate any remaining obstacles from the split spine. The damage caused by the mass before the surgery will be clearly assessed. The successful process concludes with intensive rehabilitation for the split spine patient
