Summary

This trial tests the safety & effectiveness of tools used to fix birth defects in unborn babies.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients choosing to have fetoscopic repair for neural tube defects like Spina Bifida. It's not open to those who decide against this specific type of fetal surgery.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety and effectiveness of modified surgical tools, including special sheaths and irrigators, used during fetoscopic repair procedures for neural tube defects.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on devices rather than drugs, side effects may include complications from surgery such as infection or damage to surrounding tissues.
