The cosmetic surgery is one of the best measures of enhancing or reconstructing a diseased or injured body organ. One such defect cured with the science of plastic surgery is the Spinal Canal Defects. The spinal canal defects cause a protrusion or swelling anywhere along the spine. This protrusion incorporates spinal chord coverings and cerebrospianal fluid and varying amount of the nerve tissue, sometimes instead of the protrusion there is a tuft of hair at the back.

Types of Birth defects : the spinal canal defects medically known as Spina Bifida have following types according to its level of severity :

• Myelomeningocele : it is a congenital disorder which causes the inability of backbone and spinal canal to close before birth. This results into the spinal cord and its covering membranes to protrude out of the infant's back. Some of the patients suffering from Myelomeningocele have hydrocephalus or an increase in the fluid surrounding the brain.
• Spina Bifida Occulta : it is one of the most common and least severe forms of Spina Bifida.
• Meningocele : it is the least common of the three forms of Spina Bifida in which the rear part of the spinal column has a larger opening and the protective membrane around the cord sticks out through the spinal column.

The factors that cause increase of the risks of a woman bearing a child with Spina Bifida are having a previous child with Spina Bifida, nutrition problems, deficiency of folic acid and access of Vitamin A also a family history of Spina Bifida either in the woman or her partner. The reconstructive surgery of Spinal Canal defects is aimed at closing the defect in the spinal canal. The result of the surgery for Spinal Canal defect depends on the nature of the defect, in the case of the hairy patch the skin grafting is very efficient measure.
