Abstract
ABSTRACT Prenatal repair for open spina bifida (OSB) represents nowadays a valid therapeutic option that must be considered whenever a fetus is diagnosed with this severe congenital malformation. However, a judicious weighing of the benefits obtained by fetal surgery against the risks is necessary for every individual case. This article provides the background information that is needed to accomplish that. It describes the evolution of fetal surgery for spina bifida, its benefits and risks, and the different techniques used today. How to cite this article Mazzone L, Meuli M.
