Fetoscopic two‐layer closure for open neural tube defects: prospective study of obstetric, surgical and perinatal outcomes in the first 50 cases
The hybrid two-layer closure of ONTDs is a safe procedure, yielding obstetric and perinatal outcomes comparable with those of open surgery. However, it may not be suitable for all types of defect. Long-term data are required to allow for comprehensive comparisons and to determine whether this technique should be recommended over other current surgical options. © 2025 The Author(s).
