New keyhole surgery for unborn babies aims to fix spina bifida, reduce risks for moms
NCT ID NCT03090633
Summary
This study is testing a less invasive 'keyhole' surgery to repair spina bifida in unborn babies. It aims to provide the same benefits to the baby as traditional open fetal surgery—like potentially reducing brain complications and improving movement—while lowering serious risks for the mother, such as uterine rupture and requiring all future C-sections. The goal is to see if this new approach is feasible and safe for both mother and child.
