What is Fetal Therapy?

Fetal therapy encompasses a variety of medical procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating conditions in the developing fetus. These procedures are typically performed to address problems that, if left untreated, could result in complications at birth or long-term health issues for the baby.

Fetal Therapy Procedures Offered:

  • Intrauterine Blood Transfusion: This procedure is performed to treat fetal anemia, often due to Rh incompatibility or other conditions. Dr. Jyoti transfuses healthy blood directly into the fetus through the umbilical cord, helping to restore the baby’s health.

  • Fetal Shunt Placement: In cases of severe fluid build-up (hydrops), Dr. Jyoti can place a shunt to drain excess fluid from the fetus. This procedure helps relieve pressure and improve the baby’s chances of survival.

  • Laser Therapy for Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS): TTTS affects twins who share a placenta, causing an imbalance in blood flow between them. Dr. Jyoti uses laser treatment to seal abnormal blood vessels, improving the health of both twins and reducing the risks associated with this condition.

  • Fetal Surgery for Spina Bifida: For fetuses diagnosed with spina bifida, Dr. Jyoti offers fetal surgery to correct the defect before birth, improving neurological outcomes for the baby.

  • Amnioreduction: In cases of polyhydramnios (excessive amniotic fluid), Dr. Jyoti performs amnioreduction to remove excess fluid from the womb. This procedure helps reduce the risk of preterm labor and other complications.

What to Expect During Fetal Therapy:

  • Comprehensive Diagnosis: Dr. Jyoti will first conduct detailed imaging and diagnostic tests to confirm the fetal condition and determine the best course of treatment.

  • Minimally Invasive Procedures: Many fetal therapies are performed with minimally invasive techniques, ensuring the safety of both mother and baby.

  • Ongoing Monitoring: After the procedure, Dr. Jyoti will provide close monitoring of the pregnancy to track the baby’s progress and address any further complications that may arise.

Benefits of Fetal Therapy:

  • Improved Fetal Outcomes: Early intervention can significantly improve the health of the baby, addressing problems that could otherwise result in complications at birth or long-term health issues.

  • Minimized Risks: With advanced medical techniques and Dr. Jyoti’s expertise, fetal therapies are performed with a focus on minimizing risks to both mother and baby.

  • Comprehensive Care: Dr. Jyoti and her team provide thorough follow-up care to ensure the continued health and well-being of both mother and baby after the procedure.
