Antenatal Diagnosis: Current Status for Paediatric Surgeons

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Rickham's Neonatal Surgery

Abstract

In this chapter we review antenatal diagnosis and obstetric management of fetal conditions that are relevant to paediatric surgeons. We restrict our discussion to fetal conditions that have been shown to, or have the potential to, benefit from in utero surgical therapy.
