Successful sealing of fetoscopic access sites with collagen plugs in the rabbit model

Article Abstract:

Collagen plugs can plug up the hole in the fetal membranes caused by fetoscopy. Fetoscopy is used to retrieve diagnostic samples from the fetus but this requires making a hole in the fetal membranes.

Is the angle of needle insertion influencing the created defect in human fetal membranes?

Article Abstract:

During amniocentesis, the needle should be inserted at a 45 degree angle to minimize leakage of amniotic fluid. However, a survey of doctors found that 82% inserted the needle at a 90 degree angle.

Increased polymorphonuclear infiltration and iatrogenic amniotic band after closure of fetoscopic access sites with a bioactive membrane in the rabit at midgestation

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on fetoscopic access sites. The authors have investigated the safety and efficacy of these sites' closure via the use of bioactive membrane containing transforming growth factor-beta and basic fibroblast growth factor, and they report that the use of bioactive membrane has improved fetal membrane repair rates.
