Resumen
VENTURA LAVERIANO, Walter et al. Intrauterine surgery for spina bifida: report of the first successful case in Peru. Rev. peru. ginecol. obstet. [online]. 2017, vol.63, n.4, pp.627-633. ISSN 2304-5132.
We report the first successful case of fetal surgery for spina bifida repair in Peru. A pregnant woman was referred to our center at 23 weeks’ gestation because of prenatal diagnosis of spina bifida. We formed a multidisciplinary international team with the goal of performing the first open intrauterine surgery in Peru. We performed a successful intrauterine surgery at 25 weeks of gestation and a healthy infant was born by cesarean section at 37 weeks of gestation. We demonstrated the feasibility of this complex intrauterine surgery in our local setting.
