Abstract:
Spina bifida aperta (SBA) is a serious neural tube defect that can lead to a range of disabilities and health complications in affected individuals. In recent years, fetoscopic surgical repair has emerged as a promising new approach to treat spina bifida prenatally, offering the potential for improved outcomes compared with traditional open surgery. As one of the few centres in Europe to offer this innovative technique, the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Neurosurgery, and Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at the University Medical Centre of Marburg (UKGM Marburg) have faced unique challenges in developing and establishing standards of care for the pregnant patients undergoing this complex procedure. In this publication, we aim to present details of our initial experience with the first 15 patients and propose a clinical concept for the rather complex perioperative management of these patients.
