Dr. Chmait Performs Minimally-Invasive Fetoscopic Surgery for Spina Bifida

by Fetal Health Foundation | Sep 5, 2019 | front-page, Meningocele, Myelomeningocele/Spina Bifida, News

“We have a unique approach that is a technique first established in Brazil by Dr. Lapa, and we brought it over to the United States. Dr. Quintero and I have put together a fetoscopic treatment that is FDA approved to repair open spina bifida, that is entirely percutaneous (there is no laparotomy and no hysterectomy),” said Dr. Ramen Chmait, Director, Los Angeles Fetal Surgery.
