Cryopreserved decellularized human umbilical cord matrix allograft as duraplasty for fetoscopic prenatal spina bifida repair
A laparotomy-assisted, 3-miniport fetoscopic approach for prenatal MMC multilayered repair offers excellent access and visualization for an effective watertight closure. The use of HUC matrix allograft as a dural substitute was shown to be effective with a low rate of neurosurgical postnatal complications.
