I have heard of a surgery done in China on spina bifida children for bladder incontinence. Is this available in USA ?

It seems that there was a study done a couple years ago on 20 Chinese children with spina bifida. It was the first study to show an increase in urinary continence following surgery. I believe surgery is done in the U.S. as a "last resort" after trying medicines, biofeedback, and self-catheterization.
