Abstract

The intrauterine repair of myelomeningocele presents certain advantages and has gained widespread acceptance. It significantly reduces the incidence of Chiari-2 anomalies and hydrocephalus, and it is thought to enhance the neurologic outcome. Nevertheless, several issues remain unsettled and there are no negligible disadvantages. After working with patients with myelomeningocele for 30 years, I thought about how we currently treat them. There are ethical, organizational, neurological, obstetrical, and postnatal aspects worth discussing.
