Healing in the womb: Advances in Fetal Surgery

Dates and Times

Start: 6/24/2026 8:00 AM
End: 6/24/2026 8:00 AM

Objectives

1. Identify fetal conditions that may benefit from prenatal intervention across multiple organ systems, including neurologic, thoracic, cardiac, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, head and neck, and monochorionic twin disorders.
2. Evaluate prognostic factors and imaging findings for major fetal anomalies, including pleural effusions, echogenic lung lesions (CPAM/BPS), urinary tract obstruction, and congenital diaphragmatic hernia, to guide counseling and management.
3. Differentiate key fetal pathologies and their underlying pathophysiology, including CPAM versus bronchopulmonary sequestration, congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS), myelomeningocele, and monochorionic twin complications.
4. Apply evidence-based criteria for fetal intervention, including EXIT procedures, fetal endoscopic tracheal occlusion (FETO), fetal surgery for myelomeningocele, and other prenatal therapies, while understanding associated risks, benefits, and outcomes.
5. Interpret placental and fetal imaging findings to assess disease severity, predict outcomes, and determine candidacy for fetal intervention in complex fetal and twin pregnancies.
