Last edited and medically reviewed by on

The MOMS Trial investigated prenatal versus postnatal surgical repair in patients with a myelomeningocele1.

Authors' conclusion

Prenatal surgery for myelomeningocele reduced the need for shunting and improved motor outcomes at 30 months but was associated with maternal and fetal risks2.
