prenatal diagnosis - Opis:
- The progress made in the past few years in prenatal medicine has led to the development of new diagnostic and surgical techniques that are used to treat congenital disorders during pregnancy. This stride also raises ethical questions, including the borderline between innovative treatment and experimental surgery. Surgical interventions on the fetus may be performed by amniotic shunting, open fetal surgery or fetoscopy. The choice of the method depends on the type of malformation. Intrauterine surgery is possible in selected cases e.g. congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, diaphragmatic hernia, hydrocephalus, myelomeningocele, feto-fetal transfusion syndrome and others. The indications for fetal intervention are: the risk of fetal death, significant developmental disorders or the chance for reducing the disability. Both, amniotic shunting and fetoscopy, are performed by gynecologists, whereas open fetal surgeries require cooperation between gynecologists, pediatric surgeons and other medical specialists. Parents are informed about congenital defects, prognosis and treatment possibilities. Afterwards they discuss the treatment plan with doctors. Prenatal procedures are still relatively rare and require long-term observation, refinement in surgical techniques and guidelines for postoperative care. Current research focuses on gene therapy and use of stem cells in developmental defects treatment.
