TL;DR: Prenatal surgery for myelomeningocele reduced the need for shunting and improved motor outcomes at 30 months but was associated with maternal and fetal risks and increased risk of preterm delivery and uterine dehiscence at delivery.

TL;DR: Myelomeningocele is one of the most common birth defects, characterized by a defect in the bony spine and resultant extrusion of the spinal cord into a sac filled with cerebrospinal fluid.

TL;DR: Prenatal repair by hysterotomy may offer better neurological function than repair delayed until after delivery, but it can also increase maternal risk, including preterm labor and uterine dehiscence, and has an increased risk of fetal or neonatal death and preterm birth.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Early results suggest that careful attention to uterine entry, manipulation, and closure by the surgical team can result in a decreased rate of premature rupture of membranes and chorioamnion separation and can reduce early preterm delivery.
