How is Fetal Surgery Performed?

There are various techniques used in fetal surgery:
Open Fetal Surgery: This involves making an incision in the mother's abdomen and uterus to access the fetus. It is usually reserved for conditions like spina bifida.
Fetoscopic Surgery: This minimally invasive technique uses small incisions and a fetoscope (a small camera) to guide the surgery. It is commonly used for conditions like TTTS.
Intrauterine Therapies: These can involve the use of needles to deliver medication or other treatments directly to the fetus.
