A Needle Lasso Method for Port Site Closure and Amniotic Membrane Plication in Fetoscopic Surgery

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to evaluate the feasibility of a novel needle lasso technique for amniotic membrane plication during port site closure in fetoscopic spina bifida repair. They report successful implementation of this method, achieving amniotic membrane plication and safe delivery beyond 34 weeks of gestation without complications. The study suggests the technique's potential benefits, although further research is necessary to validate these findings and expand its application in fetoscopic surgery.
