New patch tested in groundbreaking fetal surgery to fight spina bifida
NCT ID NCT03794011
Summary
This study is comparing two ways to perform a delicate surgery on unborn babies with spina bifida, a serious spinal cord defect. Doctors are testing if using a collagen patch during a minimally invasive 'fetoscopic' repair leads to a stronger, thicker closure of the defect compared to the same surgery done without the patch. The goal is to improve outcomes for mothers and babies by reducing complications like fluid leaks from the repair site.
