Three-dimensional endoscopes could potentially be used in the near future for relative improvement in visualization and possibly performance during complex fetoscopic procedures such as prenatal repair of myelomeningocele defects. Further studies utilizing 3D scopes for other related procedures may potentially support clinical implementation of this technology in fetal surgery and also prove to be a useful tool in surgical training.
