Overview

Fetal Surgery is a set of medical interventions that are performed prenatally in order to treat or improve a fetal condition. Potential maternal outcomes of Fetal Surgery vary widely, depending on the particular procedure being performed and the maternal conditions prior to the surgery. Generally speaking, the success of Fetal Surgery is associated with improved maternal outcomes. For example, some studies have shown that mothers who undergo Fetal Surgery have lower rates of preterm labor and birth, as well as fewer cases of preeclampsia. Additionally, evidence suggests that Fetal Surgery may reduce the risk of maternal mortality and morbidity in high-risk pregnancies. As a result, Fetal Surgery can provide mothers with improved outcomes and can ultimately help to improve the health of both mother and baby.
