Abstract

An increasing number of fetal anomalies are being diagnosed prior to birth, some of them amenable to fetal surgical intervention. We discuss the current clinical status and recent advances in endoscopic and open surgical interventions. In Europe, fetoscopic interventions are widely embraced, whereas the uptake of open fetal surgery is much less. The indications for each access modality are different, hence they cannot substitute each other. Although the stage of technical experimentation is over, most interventions remain investigational. Today there is level I evidence that fetoscopic laser surgery for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome is the preferred therapy, but this operation actually takes place on the placenta. In terms of surgery on the fetus, an increasingly frequent indication is severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia as well as myelomeningocele. Overall maternal safety is high, but rupture of the membranes and preterm delivery remain a problem. The increasing application of fetal surgery and its mediagenicity has triggered the interest to embark on fetal surgical therapy, although the complexity as well as the overall rare indications are a limitation to sufficient experience on an individual basis. We plead for incr...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
