Area of Science:

  • Medical Science
  • Obstetrics
  • Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Obstetricians have developed numerous techniques to diagnose fetal abnormalities over the past 25 years.
  • Diagnoses of fetal structural or functional abnormalities offer couples options for pregnancy termination where legally permissible.
  • In select cases, correction of certain fetal abnormalities has become possible.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution of diagnostic techniques for fetal abnormalities.
  • To highlight advancements in surgical and other therapeutic approaches for fetal conditions.
  • To detail recent progress in surgical therapies for fetal abnormalities.

Main Methods:

  • Review of diagnostic techniques for structural and functional fetal abnormalities.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of treatment modalities, including surgical, pharmacological, and genetic approaches.
  • Focus on recent advancements in surgical interventions for fetal conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • Established diagnostic methods for a wide range of fetal abnormalities.
    • Development of therapeutic strategies tailored to abnormality type (surgical for structural, pharmacological/genetic for metabolic).
