Characterization of Maternal and Fetal Immunity Following in Utero Spina Bifida Repair and Surgery‐Induced Preterm Birth [PDF]

Prenatal Diagnosis, Volume 45, Issue 13, Page 1816-1826, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Objective Fetal surgery (FS) for spina bifida (SB) repair improves infant outcomes; however, spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) is common. We aimed to evaluate maternal and fetal immune responses following FS for SB repair. Method Pregnant participants undergoing fetoscopic SB repair at 24–26 weeks of gestational age (GA) were prospectively ...
