Pediatr Neurosurg
July 2024
Prenatal Diagnosis and Fetal Surgery Center, Fetal Medicine Mexico Institute, Guadalajara, Mexico.
Article Synopsis
- Open spina bifida (OSB) is a serious condition linked to severe health issues, but intrauterine repair can enhance neonatal outcomes in some cases.
- A rare case involving double myelomeningocele with multiple complications was treated successfuly at 25 weeks using innovative micro-neurosurgery.
- The successful repair through a minimal incision showed promising results with normal neurodevelopmental outcomes, indicating potential for further research on double OSB intrauterine interventions.

Fetoscopic urethral meatotomy in fetuses with lower urinary tract obstruction by congenital megalourethra.
Prenat Diagn
May 2021
Prenatal Diagnosis and Fetal Surgery Center, Medicina Fetal México and Fetal Medicine Foundation of Mexico, Queretaro, México.
Background: To describe the perinatal outcomes of fetoscopic urethral meatotomy (FUM) in fetuses with lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) by congenital megalourethra.
Study Design: Between 2012 and 2020, 226 cases with LUTO were referred to our fetal surgery center in Queretaro, Mexico. We report the perinatal outcome of cases with LUTO by congenital megalourethra that were selected for FUM in an attempt to release the penile urethral obstruction.
Preoperative Cervical Length Predicts the Risk of Delivery within One Week after Pleuroamniotic Shunt in Fetuses with Severe Hydrothorax.

November 2021
Prenatal Diagnosis and Fetal Surgery Center, Medicina Fetal Mexico, Querétaro, Mexico.
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the predictive performance of preoperative cervical length (CL) for delivery within 1 week after pleuroamniotic shunting (PAS) in fetuses with severe hydrothorax.
Methods: A prospective cohort of fetuses with severe hydrothorax referred to our fetal surgery center in Querétaro, Mexico from January 2012 to July 2020. Severe fetal hydrothorax was diagnosed as an accumulation of fluid within the fetal pleural space accompanied with severe bilateral lung compression, mediastinal shift, polyhydramnios, and/or hydrops.
Single Uterine Access for Bilateral Pleuroamniotic Shunting in Fetuses with Severe Hydrothorax by an Internal Rotational Maneuver: Feasibility and Outcomes between Successful and Failed Procedures.
Fetal Diagn Ther
November 2021
Prenatal Diagnosis and Fetal Surgery Center, Fetal Medicine Mexico and Fetal Medicine Foundation of Mexico, Queretaro, Mexico.
Objective: The objective of this study was to describe the feasibility of single percutaneous uterine access for bilateral pleuroamniotic shunting (PAS) in fetuses with severe hydrothorax by using an internal rotational maneuver and to compare perinatal outcomes between successful and failed procedures.
Methods: A prospective cohort of 25 fetuses with isolated bilateral hydrothorax and hydrops were referred to our fetal surgery center in Queretaro, Mexico during an 8-year period. Bilateral PAS was first attempted through a percutaneous single uterine access by internal rotation of the fetus, which was achieved by using the blunt tip of the same cannula, and in case of a failed procedure, a second uterine port was used to place the second shunt.
Open Fetal Microneurosurgery for Intrauterine Spina Bifida Repair.
Fetal Diagn Ther
November 2021
Department of Maternal Fetal Medicine, Hospital de Especialidades del Niño y la Mujer Dr. Felipe Núñez Lara, Queretaro, Mexico.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to describe the feasibility of open fetal microneurosurgery for intrauterine spina bifida (SB) repair and to compare perinatal outcomes with cases managed using the classic open fetal surgery technique.
Methods: In this study, we selected a cohort of consecutive fetuses with isolated open SB referred to our fetal surgery center in Queretaro, Mexico, during a 3.5-year period (2016-2020).
Prenatal diagnosis of laryngo-tracheo-esophageal anomalies in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia by ultrasound evaluation of the vocal cords and fetal laryngoesophagoscopy.
Prenat Diagn
December 2020
Prenatal Diagnosis and Fetal Surgery Center, Fetal Medicine Mexico and Fetal Medicine Foundation of Mexico, Queretaro, Mexico.
Background: To evaluate the incidence of laryngeal ultrasound (US) abnormalities in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and to assess the utility of fetal laryngoesophagoscopy for prenatal diagnosis of laryngo-tracheo-esophageal anomalies.
Study Design: A cohort of CDH fetuses with laryngeal ultrasound abnormalities were selected for diagnostic fetal laringoesophagoscopy in a single fetal surgery center at Queretaro, Mexico.
Results: During the study period, 210 CDH fetuses were evaluated.
