Columbia University Department of Surgery's video: What Is Fetal Surgery

For some expecting parents, fetal surgery can provide the medical care your baby needs before they are born. This type of surgery encompasses a wide range of different techniques and is typically used to treat a variety of birth defects. Our pediatric program offers a full spectrum of services for treating congenital conditions in both fetuses and newborn children. We work across disciplines to assemble diverse teams of specialists capable of addressing any condition. Our innovative work in the fetal and neonatal surgical fields has led to newer and more effective ways of addressing congenital defects. It’s also given us a proven track record of building teams that can care for the most difficult fetal and maternal conditions.
