This luncheon roundtable will cover updated criteria and optimal referral timing for key fetal conditions, including spina bifida, twin-twin transfusion syndrome, selective fetal growth restriction, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and vasa previa. The primary objective is to enhance timely referrals, ensuring early intervention and preserving the critical surgical window. The session will also explore the critical role of multidisciplinary collaboration, including referring MFM specialists, fetal and pediatric surgeons, and other integral team members, in improving post-surgical outcomes and the early detection of complications. A diverse group of faculty from the Western and Southcentral regions will share actionable insights and initiatives to help you improve the timely provision of in-utero surgeries in your practice.
