Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and the maternal, fetal and postnatal outcomes of sacral myelomeningocele (MMC) and Myelic Limited Dorsal Myeloschisis (MyeLDM) fetoscopic repair at Trousseau Hospital (Paris, France).

Conditions

  • Sacral Myelomeningocele
  • Neural Tube Defects
  • Spina Bifida

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Fetoscopy

After an exteriorization of the uterus through a laparotomy, humidified and warmed gas will be insufflated with low pressure (6 to 8mmHg mmHg). Fetoscopic repair surgery will consist in a dissection of the placode, its reintegration into the spinal canal and the closure of the lesion, through a three ports access. After fetal surgery, the gas will be exsufflated and the trocar ports will be closed. The uterus will be reintegrated before suturing the maternal abdominal wall.
