Case Report: Fetoscopic Laparoschisis (FETO-LAP)-A New Therapeutic Route to Explore for Fetuses with Severe Diaphragmatic Hernias.

This seminal case shows that in a fetus with severe left diaphragmatic hernia, partial removal of the herniated organs from the fetal chest is not only possible by minimally invasive fetoscopic techniques but also well tolerated. As the effect of FETO alone is limited in saving severely affected fetuses, combining FETO with fetoscopic laparoschisis (FETO-LAP) offers a new therapeutic route with multiple, potentially life-saving implications.
