Several types of transcervical procedures are commonly performed in the field of pediatric medicine:
Amniocentesis: This is a diagnostic procedure where a small amount of amniotic fluid is extracted to test for genetic conditions, infections, and other anomalies. Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS): This involves taking a sample of placental tissue to test for genetic abnormalities and other conditions. Fetoscopy: A small camera is inserted through the cervix to allow direct visualization of the fetus, placenta, and amniotic fluid. Fetal Surgery: Sometimes, surgical interventions are performed transcervically to correct certain congenital anomalies.
