Myelomeningocele Animation

Fetal surgery for myelomeningocele can offer significant benefits to the baby, but it also carries serious risks and potential complications. Our team at the Cincinnati Fetal Center provides extensive testing and counseling to ensure that patients meet the criteria for fetal myelomeningocele surgery and have all the information they need to make an informed decision about whether to undergo the procedure. Our surgeons have considerable experience in performing this delicate operation. Patients also benefit from exceptional follow-up care before and after the baby is born.

The Cincinnati Fetal Center is one of only a few comprehensive fetal care centers in the world. Led by physicians from Cincinnati Children's, Good Samaritan Hospital and University of Cincinnati Medical Center, the team specializes in treating complex and rare fetal conditions.
