Abstract:

Fetal diaphragmatic hernia, a birth defect, significantly contributes to neonatal mortality. Despite advancements in neonatal care, anesthesia and surgery, the mortality rate associated with severe cases continues to be alarmingly high, posing persistent challenges in therapy. The innovative technique of fetoscopic tracheal occlusion represents a novel therapeutic approach for severe diaphragmatic hernia. This paper details our experiences with this method, aiming to offer valuable insights to fetal medical centers in China.
