Fetal surgery

Fetal surgery is a specialized medical procedure performed on an unborn baby while still in the womb. It aims to treat conditions that could cause serious health issues after birth, such as congenital heart defects or spine problems. Surgeons carefully access the fetus through the mother's abdomen, allowing them to perform repairs or interventions before delivery. This can improve the baby's chances of a healthier start to life. Fetal surgery involves a team of experts, including obstetricians, neonatologists, and pediatric surgeons, working together to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby.
