2005, British Journal of Plastic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The procedure has been later applied in a variety of feto-endoscopic surgical interventions: to create lower urinary tract obstruction,21 to place a transabdominal vesico-amniotic shunt into the foetal bladder in order to rescue renal function threatened by urinary tract obstruction,11 in foetal tracheoscopy-guided transfection or temporary obstruction of the trachea to induce pulmonary hyperplasia17,22–24 and finally, in the covering of myelomeningocele.25–28 Several other reports show widespread acceptance and application of the technique, employed in animal models as well as in the treatment of life threatening malformations in humans.8,10,11,19,29–38 Current research focuses on the feto-endoscopic treatment of congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
