Overview

Almost completely phased out by obstetrical ultrasound, fetoscopy is now considered a technique to master in the upcoming decade. Not only does it offer improved resolution for better diagnoses, it might also allow for surgery that does not disrupt the natural course of pregnancy. Containing a wealth of data and technical information, Diagnostic and Operative Fetoscopy provides the first comprehensive reference on fetoscopy in the management of birth defects and other high-risk pregnancies.
