Fetal Surgery Indications
Fetal surgery is a complex and specialized procedure that is used to treat certain medical conditions in a baby while it is still in the mother's womb. The aim of fetal surgery is to improve the health of the fetus and increase the chance of a successful pregnancy outcome. Indications for fetal surgery include conditions such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia, twin-twin transfusion syndrome, and myelomeningocele. The procedure involves a surgical opening of the mother's uterus to gain access to the fetus, who can then be operated on to correct the medical condition. Fetal surgery is a safe and effective method to improve the health and outcome of pregnant women and their babies.
