Abstract
- Congenital malformations occur in about 3% of all live births and are a leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. An evolving understanding of the developing human fetus, advances in imaging, availability of cutting-edge instrumentation, and enhanced understanding of fetal pathophysiology, have allowed for prenatal surgical interventions to improve fetal diseases and neonatal outcomes. Fetal surgical therapy is no longer restricted to life-threatening prenatal diagnoses and can be categorized into either open surgical techniques or minimally invasive endoscopic/ultrasound-guided techniques. Patient selection requires a thorough multidisciplinary evaluation and shared decision-making process.
