“…It was calculated that to detect a 4% difference in neurodevelopmental impairment between the prenatal‐ and postnatal‐repair groups, with 80% power and 5% type‐1 error, 1886 patients per group would be needed 7 . This underscores the fact that available data are vastly underpowered to detect significant differences at this level 8 . There is also a lack of studies comparing neurocognitive outcome of children with spina bifida who undergo surgery and those who do not 7,8 .…”

What are the novel findings of this work? This is the largest follow-up study to date evaluating the postnatal mortality and 30-month outcome of children who underwent fully percutaneous fetoscopic repair of myelomeningocele (MMC). What are the clinical implications of this work? Intrauterine repair of MMC by percutaneous fetoscopy, and via hysterotomy, result in a remarkably good outcome concerning mortality, prematurity, shunt-placement rates, motor and mental development and free ambulation, when compared to postnatal repair.
