Fetal Surgery

Specialized prenatal care and advanced fetal interventions

Overview:

Fetal medicine—a subspecialty focused on the unborn child—has advanced prenatal care through ultrasound technology and interventional techniques developed at leading medical centers.

Fetal Surgery:

A range of surgical procedures during pregnancy can improve outcomes for your baby. These specialized interventions are performed at international centers where Dr. Tena maintains professional collaborations—primarily with Professor Nicolaides at King’s College Hospital, London. We provide comprehensive diagnostic assessment, detailed counseling on all available options, and coordination of care and referrals to leading centers.

Common Fetal Surgical Procedures:

Laser for TTTS, TAPS, sFGR in monochorionic twins: Rapid admission to world centers for laser separation of placental blood vessels.
Shunt placement for LUTO or CPAMs: Bladder shunts prevent kidney destruction, Thoracic shunts drain pulmonary cysts and improve lung development.
Fetoscopic/hybrid closure for Spina bifida to stop neural tissue destruction whilst in the womb.
FETO for diaphragmatic hernia: Windpipe balloon placement can double survival chances for babies with poor prognosis.
