Fetal Surgeries and Interventions

Our team of specialists is closely involved in the development of nationally recognized, pioneering surgical techniques to intervene in even the most serious situations — from minimally invasive procedures to open fetal surgery.

At Fetal Care Center Dallas, we offer a multidisciplinary, comprehensive approach to fetal surgery, allowing us to deliver the best outcomes while minimizing the risks to both you and your baby.

Ultrasound-Guided Fetal Interventions

  • Thoracentesis for fetal hydrothorax (FHT)
  • Thoraco-amniotic shunting for FHT and congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM)
  • Vesicocentesis for bladder outlet obstruction (BOO)
  • Vesico-amniotic shunting for BOO
  • Radiofrequency ablation for Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion Sequence (TRAP)
  • Radiofrequency ablation for monochorionic twins with life-threatening anomaly in one twin
  • Interstitial laser devascularization
    • Bronchopulmonary sequestration
    • Hybrid CPAM
    • Sacrococcygeal teratoma
    •  Epignathus
    • Chorioangioma
  • Intrauterine blood transfusion
    • rH isoimmunization
  • Aortic balloon valvuloplasty for Aortic stenosis/Evolving hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS)
  • Amnioport to maintain amniotic fluid volume in fetuses with low amniotic fluid due to lower urinary tract obstruction or fetal renal abnormalities

  • Laser laryngotomy for congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS)
  • Laser bronchotomy for unilateral bronchial atresia

 

Ex-Utero Intrapartum Treatment (EXIT Procedures)

  • Exit-to-Airway
    • Cervical teratoma
    • Lymphangioma
    • Micrognathia

    The global outbreak and spread of COVID-19 is affecting each of us. At Fetal Care Center Dallas, we are focused on its unique impact on our patients. The safety and well-being of our patients — moms, cardiac and pediatric surgery kids, and unborn children — remain our highest priority.

    To keep our patients and staff safe and in alignment with hospital and government mandates, we have made the following changes to our visitor guidelines:

    • We allow one visitor over the age of 18 to accompany pregnant patients.
    • We allow two parents/guardians to accompany pediatric patients.
    • We do not allow any additional visitors or children in our offices at any location.
    • While we have elected to make masks optional at this time, the hospitals we partner with may require patients to wear masks while in their buildings. Should changes be made per national guidelines, we will update patients directly prior to their visit.

    As always, we'll make clinical decisions regarding follow-up appointments on an individual patient basis. Please stay in close touch with us and be assured that our physicians want their patients to come to them as needed with questions and concerns. Working together, we will make it through this challenging time.
