The Expanding Role of Gene Sequencing in Shaping Fetal Therapies: Clinical and Ethical Considerations

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In utero interventions are transformative in addressing genetic and anatomic conditions during fetal development. Next generation sequencing enables early genetic testing, playing a pivotal role in prenatal decision‐making by supporting risk stratification, precise and timely diagnosis, which directly informs eligibility for fetal surgical and

Patient‐Reported Outcome Measures in Fetal Medicine: A Pilot Feasibility Study

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective A core set of generic Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) was recently developed to collect information from patients about their health status and quality of life. This study aims to: (1) identify relevant Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) from this core set for parents facing a fetal anomaly diagnosis and determine ...

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

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
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 ...

Epidural Analgesia Decreases Narcotic Requirements in Low Level Spina Bifida Patients Undergoing Urologic Laparotomy for Neurogenic Bladder and Bowel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Purpose Concern of anatomical anomalies and worsening neurologic symptoms has prevented widespread use of epidural catheters in patients with low level spina bifida (LLSB). We hypothesize that thoracic epidural placement in the T9-T10 interspace is safe
