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

Prenatal 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 ...
