Congenital abnormalities occur in about 3 percent of all births, and some of them require surgical treatment prior to or immediately following birth to ensure the infant's best prognosis. Advanced diagnostic tools have helped physicians determine whether fetal surgery will be necessary earlier on and track the progression of abnormal development.This highly specialized and often delicate type of surgery may include procedures to address such conditions as a myelomeningocele, sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT), bipolar cord coagulation, fetal cardiac abnormalities, spina bifida, urinary tract obstructions, airway blockages and hernias.
