Abstract:
Fetal surgery offers the possibility of prenatal treatment of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The in utero management of CDH has evolved with continued experimental and clinical experience. Topics covered include the experimental rationale and techniques of in utero repair of CDH, methods of accurate diagnosis, criteria for patient selection, approaches to ethical concerns, operative techniques, and a review of the clinical experience.
