Abstract
Fetal therapy is a well-established but rapidly evolving field discipline. Fetal interventions require a multidisciplinary team approach that emphasizes collaboration and communication. The success of a fetal therapy program relies on the availability of a comprehensive obstetric and neonatal care team, support services, and advanced imaging. Technological advancements in prenatal fetal imaging and genetic diagnosis have improved our understanding of various fetal anomalies. Surgical techniques and anesthetic management have also advanced, leading to better outcomes. Fetal anesthesia presents unique challenges as it involves managing both the mother and the fetus. Anesthetic management focuses on ensuring maternal safety and comfort, maintaining adequate uteroplacental perfusion, optimizing surgical conditions, and minimizing risks for both the mother and the fetus. This article reviews current anesthesia practices for fetal surgery, highlighting recent advances and future directions.
