title: Human fetal surgery.
abstract: The ability to "see" the fetus before birth with routine obstetrical sonography, has changed the management of many congenital anomalies. Although most correctable malformations diagnosed prenatally, are best cared for by appropriate medical or surgical therapy after planned delivery at term, fetal intervention in selected cases may be advantageous.
