Patch vs. No Patch Fetoscopic Meningomyelocele Repair Study

Краткое описание

The purpose of the study is to compare the maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes of a cohort of 60 patients in whom a multilayer closure with a Durepair patch is performed with a prior cohort of patients in whom a standardized repair without patch (n = 32) was performed using the same minimally invasive fetoscopic repair technique. The hypothesis is that there will be a thicker repair (as measured by MRI at 6 weeks post surgery) and less MMC repair dehiscence and/or CSF leak with the patch repair.
