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.Downloads
