Womb surgery breakthrough: two methods to fix spina bifida before birth
Disease control OngoingThis study tests two ways to surgically repair spina bifida in the womb using a tiny camera. The goal is to close the spinal defect and reverse brain changes caused by the condition. About 110 pregnant women carrying babies with spina bifida will take part. The two methods are co…

Patch may boost fetal spina bifida repair, early trial hints
Disease control OngoingThis study tests two minimally invasive fetal surgery techniques for repairing neural tube defects (spina bifida) in the womb. One method uses a Durepair patch to reinforce the repair, while the other does not. Researchers aim to see if the patch leads to a thicker repair and few…
