fetoscopy

Fetoscopy is a specialized medical procedure that allows doctors to look inside the womb using a thin, flexible tube called a fetoscope. This device is inserted through a small incision in the mother's abdomen and guided into the amniotic cavity, providing direct visual access to the developing fetus and surrounding structures. Fetoscopy is used for diagnostic purposes, such as checking fetal development or diagnosing conditions, and for certain treatments like removing abnormal tissue or treating blood vessel issues. It offers a minimally invasive way to monitor and address fetal health during pregnancy.
