Summary
This study looks at a less invasive surgery to repair spina bifida in unborn babies. Instead of a large cut in the uterus, doctors use a tiny camera and tools through small openings. The goal is to close the spinal defect and reverse brain changes, while lowering risks like early labor and uterine rupture. The study includes 30 pregnant women with a fetus that has isolated spina bifida.
