Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to describe a new prenatal technique for myelomeningocele (MMC) repair using a minimally invasive method with a decellularized human umbilical cord graft for covering the spinal defect.
- A cohort of 57 patients from an ongoing study showed positive postnatal outcomes, with most patients achieving independent or therapeutic ambulation and a low incidence of serious complications like CSF leaks.
- Findings include a significant rate of complete reversal of hindbrain herniation at birth and a manageable percentage of spinal inclusion cysts that required minimal surgical intervention.
