Laser surgery in the womb could let moms with vasa previa deliver naturally
NCT ID NCT06290232
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at a fetal surgery called fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP) to treat vasa previa, a condition where fetal blood vessels cover the womb opening, making vaginal delivery dangerous. The goal was to seal off these vessels to prevent bleeding and allow a safer delivery, possibly without a C-section. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
