Abstract

Purpose: This study examined the neurological and age-appropriate developmental outcomes of 11 children who underwent open fetal surgery.

Results: Nine children have normal neurological outcomes, and nine have normal development.

Conclusion: Intensive postnatal care, intracranial hemorrhage, and requirement for prolonged respiratory support were associated with a worse neurological and developmental prognosis.
