Fetal surgery is a medical procedure performed on a developing fetus to treat certain conditions before birth. This type of surgery aims to correct or manage issues such as spina bifida, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, or heart defects. It is typically done in specialized centers by a team of experts, including maternal-fetal medicine specialists and pediatric surgeons. The procedure can be performed using minimally invasive techniques or open surgery, depending on the condition and its severity. Fetal surgery carries risks for both the mother and the fetus, so careful evaluation and monitoring are essential to ensure the best possible outcomes.
