Overview

The Researchers are trying to determine feasibility and safety of performing surgery in the womb with the Karl Storz fetoscopes (a tool used to access the baby in the body of the mother). This are new and improved fetoscopes that are not yet approved by the FDA.

  • Device Karl Storz New Generation Fetoscope - straight 11506AAK
    11506AAK Miniature straight forward telescope 0-degree, straight, diameter 3.3 millimeter, length 30 cm, 30,000 pixels, autoclavable, irrigation connector, central working channel 4 french, lateral working channel 3 french, remote eyepiece, fiber optic light transmission incorporated.

Primary outcome measures

  • Adverse events [Time frame: 12 months]
  • Serious Adverse Events [Time frame: 12 months]
  • Device malfunctions [Time frame: 12 months]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
  • Mean gestational age at delivery [Time frame: 12 months]
  • Successful Completion [Time frame: 12 months]
  • Satisfaction scores [Time frame: 12 months]
