Transcervical procedures are performed to diagnose and sometimes treat conditions in the fetus. These procedures can provide critical information about the health and development of the fetus and can sometimes correct or mitigate conditions before birth. Some common reasons for transcervical interventions include:
Diagnosing chromosomal abnormalities through techniques like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling. Managing conditions such as twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. Conducting fetal surgery for conditions like spina bifida.
