Purpose: Evaluate the anesthetic management in intrauterine surgery to induce myelomeningocele in non human primates Macaca mulatta.
Methods: A total of nine fetuses had intrauterine surgery; laminectomy was performed on them in L5 and L6. The studied variables were: maternal death, fetus death, cardiac frequency, respiratory frequency, arterial pressure, temperature, and oxygen saturation.
Results: No maternal or fetal deaths occurred; the only variable that was reported below the normal ranges was temperature.
Conclusion: No maternal or fetal deaths occurred; the only variable that was reported below the normal ranges was temperature.

Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence is an uncommon disease affecting monochorionic twin pregnancies. The diagnosis can be made by ultrasound allowing to plan optimal antenatal management. An electronic search was conducted from inception to July 2024 to systematically evaluate and compare the outcomes of different intrauterine interventions in this condition.

Gastroschisis represents a congenital malformation characterized by the herniation of abdominal contents through a defect in the abdominal wall, predominantly situated to the right of the umbilical cord. The defect is characterized by the absence of a covering membrane, resulting in the free floating of extruded abdominal contents. Major complications associated with this condition include stillbirth, preterm delivery, and intrauterine growth restriction.

Rationale: Fetal intestinal volvulus, a rare and severe disorder, poses significant diagnostic challenges prenatally and can lead to intrauterine death or adverse neonatal outcomes if untreated in a timely manner. This study reports a case of fetal intestinal volvulus confirmed postoperatively, providing insights into its clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and treatment outcomes, thereby enhancing understanding of this rare condition.
Patient Concerns: A Chinese gravida 2, para 1 female presented at 32 weeks and 5 days of gestation with decreased fetal movements.
