title: Transcervical endoscopic verification of congenital anomalies in the second trimester of pregnancy.
abstract: Transcervical endoscopy was used to confirm prenatally diagnosed anomalies before elective termination of pregnancy. A complete anatomic survey was accomplished in 10 (70%) of 14 cases studied. Information was added to the ultrasonographic diagnosis in two cases, which changed the diagnosis in one fetus.
