FetReg: Placental Vessel Segmentation and Registration in Fetoscopy Challenge Dataset [PDF]
Fetoscopy laser photocoagulation is a widely used procedure for the treatment of Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), that occur in mono-chorionic multiple pregnancies due to placental vascular anastomoses. This procedure is particularly challenging

Maternal laparotomy to fetoscopic myelomeningocele repair in patients with Class 2 obesity is safe and feasible. [PDF]
Abstract Background There is minimal to no data on fetal surgery outcomes in the setting of body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35. Theoretical concerns exist for increased maternal risks from surgery and increased surgical difficulty due to maternal body habitus.

Laser fetoscopy ablation for twin–twin transfusion syndrome may reduce the risk of ROP
Twin–twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is a condition wherein monochorionic twins share a common placenta with placental anastomoses between the two foetal circulations. Most infants who survive TTTS are born prematurely.

Effects on the maternofetal unit of the rabbit model after substitution of the amniotic fluid with perfluorocarbons [PDF]
Objectives: Exchanging amniotic fluid (AF) with perfluorocarbon (PFC) may serve as a medium for fetoscopic surgery. This study evaluates the distribution and physiologic effects of intraamniotic PFC as a medium for fetoscopy.

Diagnóstico antenatal em dermatologia: contribuição do estudo ultraestrutural.
Fetoscopy and fetal skin biopsy have together played an important role for antenatal diagnosis of various hereditary skin disorders (genodermatoses). The fetus and placenta can be visualized directly and skin biopsy samples can be obtained for light and ...

PP61 Plugging the Gap of Fetoscopy in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Pregnancies: Value for Money?
Introduction Fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) for congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) fetuses increases the neonatal survival rate. However, FETO also increases the number of preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM) and preterm ...
