Prenatal myelomeningocele repair improves urinary continence and reduces the risk of constipation.

Prenatal MMC repair ensures statistically significant improvement of the degree of social urinary continence, reducing the risk of urinary infections and constipation. Time of MMC repair does not statistically influence the urodynamic tests results and the urodynamic parameters are not the prognostic elements to assess the social urinary continence possibility in patients with the neurogenic bladder.
