Overview

Fetal intervention is a surgical procedure that is performed on unborn babies in utero. It involves making an incision into the mother's womb and accessing the fetus in order to correct a birth defect or help the fetus survive. Fetal intervention helps to provide early treatment that may improve the health and quality of life of the unborn baby or increase the chance of survival. Fetal intervention is an increasingly important technique that can be used to treat life-threatening or disabling birth defects before the baby is born.
