Hi, Often surgeries for meningomyelocoele do not have 100% recovery. We need to look at his lower limb movements too. Is he able to move around or stand? Usually there will be minor deficits of bladder like urgency and not able to completely evacuate his bladder and bowels. If all these symptoms are persisting then its difficult to normalise
