Characterization of Maternal and Fetal Immunity Following in Utero Spina Bifida Repair and Surgery-Induced Preterm Birth. [PDF]
Prenat DiagnABSTRACT 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 ...

Why Do the Fetal Membranes Rupture Early after Fetoscopy? A Review
Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy, 2021 Iatrogenic preterm premature rupture of the fetal membranes (iPPROM) remains the Achilles’ heel of keyhole fetal surgery (fetoscopy) despite significant efforts in preclinical models to develop new therapies.
