1. Fetoscopy

   Fetoscopy is an endoscopic procedure during pregnancy to allow surgical access to the fetus, the amniotic cavity, the umbilical cord, and the fetal side of the placenta. A small (3–4 mm) incision is made in the abdomen, and an endoscope is inserted through the abdominal wall and uterus into the amniotic cavity. Fetoscopy allows for medical interventions such as a biopsy (tissue sample) or a laser occlusion of abnormal blood vessels (such as chorioangioma) or the treatment of spina bifida.Fetoscopy is usually performed in the second or third trimester of pregnancy. The procedure can place the fetus at increased risk of adverse outcomes, including fetal loss or preterm delivery, so the risks and benefits must be carefully weighed in order to protect the health of the mother and fetus(es). The procedure is typically performed in an operating room by an obstetrician-gynecologist.

   Fetoscopy is a surgical procedure performed during pregnancy which involves the insertion of a thin, flexible instrument called a fetoscope into the uterus through a small incision in the abdomen. This procedure allows the doctor to view or perform minor surgery on the fetus in utero. It can be used for diagnostic purposes, such as inspecting for birth defects, or for treatment, such as blood transfusions or repairing certain abnormalities before birth.
