First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tested a new, less invasive way to repair spina bifida before birth. Instead of open surgery, doctors used a tiny camera and small tools through two small cuts in the uterus. Seven pregnant women took part. The goal was to see if this approach could successfully cover the spinal defect and reduce the need for surgery after birth.
