2023 Fetoscopic Repair of Open Spina Bifida

Working with the Fetal Institute out of Miami, Florida, the goal in 2023 is to complete the study on the fetoscopic repair of open spina bifida. They will also complete the animal study on congenital diaphragmatic hernia. In addition, they should be able to complete the outcome data on patients treated with the Q-shunt for bladder outlet obstruction. They will also complete outcome data on patients with TTTS at risk for membrane separation. Lastly, they are also conducting an analysis on the clinical value of the QLI as a gestational-age independent index of fetal lung size. This will include patients with pleural effusion and diaphragmatic hernia. These are major pivotal advancements that the Brianna Marie Foundation has been a part of in multiple stages over the past 11 years. These advancements will provide guidance to other medical institutions and providers and much continued hope for unborn babies and their families. https://the-fetal-institute.com/
