Official title
Study to Compare 2 Minimally Invasive Fetal Neural Tube Defect Repair Techniques: Repair Using Durepair Patch vs. Repair Without Durepair Patch
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of the study is to compare the maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes of a cohort of 60 patients in whom a multilayer closure with a Durepair patch is performed with a prior cohort of patients in whom a standardized repair without patch (n = 32) was performed using the same minimally invasive fetoscopic repair technique. The hypothesis is that there will be a thicker repair (as measured by MRI at 6 weeks post surgery) and less MMC repair dehiscence and/or CSF leak with the patch repair.
