Spina Bifida Fetal Surgery for Myelomeningocele Breakthrough - Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

Visit http://fetalsurgery.chop.edu/spinabifida for more information. Performing delicate fetal surgery in the womb, months before birth, can substantially improve outcomes for children with a common, disabling birth defect of the spine. Experts at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment co-led a new landmark study showing that fetal surgery for spina bifida greatly reduces the need to divert fluid from the brain, improves mobility and improves the chances that a child will be able to walk independently.
