Abstract
Fetal myelomeningocele closure (fMMC) was demonstrated in a randomized, prospective clinical trial to improve outcomes for children diagnosed prenatally. Complex care of the maternal/fetal dyad undergoing fetal surgery requires a wellâcoordinated multidisciplinary team. Nurses in many roles are essential members of the team that cares for these women across the continuum. In this article we discuss the care of the woman, fetus, and family from initial contact through the discharge of the neonate.
