Abstract
Fetal Medicine as a specialty has seen great advances over the past few decades. Advances in ultrasound and fetoscopy now allow access to the 'fetal patient' for both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. While a number of fetal disorders may be amenable to fetal therapy - either direct or indirect - the evidence to support some treatment strategies is limited. Further developments in fetal therapy should aim to reduce maternal and child morbidity, wherever possible by less-invasive means, and with a firm evidence base to support their use.
