    Area of Science:

    • Medical Science
    • Surgical Anesthesia
    • Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Fetal surgery presents unique anesthetic challenges.
    • Maternal and fetal well-being are paramount during procedures.
    • Limited data exists on anesthetic techniques for fetal interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the anesthetic approach for fetal surgery.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the described technique.
    • To discuss ethical considerations in fetal surgery anesthesia.

    Main Methods:

    • Anesthesia was administered for thirteen fetal surgery procedures in seven patients.
    • Analgesia involved local infiltration of lignocaine 1% by surgeons.
    • Intravenous medications were used by the anesthetist for maternal comfort and to minimize fetal movement.
