Fetal Therapy
Fetal therapy is a therapeutic intervention used to correct or treat a fetal
anomaly or condition. In almost every case where fetal therapy is needed, the
fetus’s life is at risk due to the diagnosed condition.
Jackson Health System provides patients with the latest and most
advanced resources in the field of prenatal diagnosis and therapy at the Jackson
Memorial Hospital Women's Hospital Center. Under the leadership of
world-renowned surgeon Dr. Rubén Quintero, and in affiliation with the
University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, the Fetal Therapy
Center offers minimally invasive techniques that can successfully treat
previously untreatable life-threatening conditions diagnosed in utero (while the
baby is still in the womb).
Conditions treated at the center include erythroblastosis fetalis,
congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), urinary tract obstruction, hydrops
fetalis, Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), selective intrauterine
growth restriction in monochorionic twins and Acardiac twins (twin reversed-arterial
perfusion [TRAP] sequence).
