Prenatal ultrasonography aids in diagnosing fetal malformations, enabling prognosis assessment in the second trimester. Correctable defects may be treated with prenatal surgery, offering a new hope for life-threatening fetal conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Fetal medicine
  • Surgical innovation
  • Diagnostic imaging

Context:

  • Prenatal ultrasonography is widely used for diagnosing fetal malformations.
  • Some fetal diseases have lethal outcomes, necessitating early intervention.
  • Prognosis can be determined during the second trimester via ultrasound.

Purpose:

  • To explore the potential of prenatal surgery for correctable fetal malformations.
  • To highlight the importance of considering maternal risks and future fertility in fetal therapy.
  • To present fetal surgery as a management option for life-threatening fetal defects.

Summary:

  • Prenatal ultrasound accurately diagnoses fetal malformations, allowing for prognosis determination.
  • Experimental models and clinical practice support prenatal surgery for conditions like congenital diaphragmatic hernia and sacrococcygeal teratoma.
