Operative Fetoscopy

Over the past several decades, society has been witness to a transformation in its view of the fetus as a patient. Until recently, there has been limited success in the treatment of fetal problems. Parents were left with few options once a fetal abnormality was diagnosed.

Fortunately, recent technological advances in microsurgical instrumentation have allowed surgical access to the womb providing for minimal disturbance
to the pregnancy and the mother. This technique is performed under local anesthesia via an incision that is less than half of one centimeter.
