Fetal Treatment Procedures

Fetal treatment procedures involve medical interventions performed on an unborn baby while still in the mother's womb. These treatments aim to address various conditions such as congenital heart defects, spina bifida, or infections. Techniques can include minimally invasive surgeries, in-utero transfusions, or administering medications directly. The goal is to improve the baby’s health before birth, potentially leading to better outcomes after delivery. These procedures require a specialized team and are typically done in advanced medical centers equipped for high-risk pregnancies. The approach balances the risks to both mother and baby, prioritizing their safety and well-being.
