AB Fetal  surgery  has  the  potential  to  alter  the  natural  history  of  congenital  disease.Patient  selection  requires  detailed  understanding  of  disease  pathophysiology.Potential  benefits  of  prenatal  intervention  must  offset  the  significant  risks  for  both  mother  and  fetus.Improvements  in  imaging  technology  permit  more  detailed  diagnosis  of  congenital  anomalies  and  provide  better  prognostic  information.A  multidisciplinary  approach  is  necessary  for  patient  selection  and  counseling.Prevention  of  preterm  labor  is  a  focus  of  preoperative,  intraoperative,  and  perioperative  management.
