I am glad to present you the first issue of Volume 13 of the journal. My sincere thanks to the publisher, who has been persistently striving toward raising the academic standard and circulation of Perinatology. I would also like to acknowledge the managing editor and her team for the constant support, cooperation, and help. I would like to bring to your notice that the editorial board, and the national and international advisory committees have been revised. Some of the erstwhile members had to discontinue due to various reasons. I acknowledge their contribution toward the growth of Perinatology since its inception. Active, enthusiastic members who are pioneers in the various disciplines of perinatal medicine have been inducted. The members of the editorial board will be introduced to you in this and subsequent issues. This issue of Perinatology features articles on interesting topics such as changing trend in maternal mortality in India and current scenario of diagnostic services for cystic fibrosis and case reports on rare congenital disorders such as sirenomelia and popliteal pterygium syndrome. The theme page gives you the current scenario on breast feeding practices, particularly in India. I recently had an opportunity to attend the Joint Congress of the Federation of Asian Oceania Perinatal Societies and the Perinatal Society of Australia and New Zealand, held in Sydney, Australia. The conference primarily emphasized on improving the situation of “still births” in various countries of the region. Still births in India is a poorly recorded and reported event. It is estimated that the stillbirth rate in India is between 30 and 35 per 1000 births and perinatal mortality rate is between 60 and 70 per 1000 births. Approximately, 0.8 million stillbirths and 1.7 million perinatal deaths occur every year. It is crucial to improvise perinatal audit, which helps to identify suboptimal care related to perinatal deaths and take appropriate measures for its reduction. I hope you will enjoy reading this issue.

  • Techniques of Fetal Intervention What Is Fetal Intervention?
    Techniques of Fetal Intervention What is fetal intervention? Fetal intervention is reaching inside the uterus to help a fetus who has a problem. Our ability to detect fetal problems has advanced so rapidly over the last few decades. While many diseases can now be accurately diagnosed before birth by genetic and imaging techniques, only a few require intervention before birth. These are generally simple anatomic problems that cause ongoing damage to the developing fetus and can be corrected using the techniques described below. All fetal intervention is really maternal-fetal intervention, and the most important consideration in all fetal intervention is the safety of the mother: her current health and her furture reproductive potential. The intervention is designed to benefit the fetus who has a problem, but the mother is an innocent bystander who assumes some risk for the sake of her unborn fetus. In weighing the risks versus the benefits of an intervention, the most important consideration is the mother, her health, her family, and her ability in the future to have other children. What are the techniques of fetal intervention? There are three general approaches to fetal intervention, all of which have been developed in the last few decades. The most definitive and most invasive is open fetal surgery. Open Fetal Surgery Open Fetal Surgery Michael Harrison, MD In open fetal surgery, the mother is anesthetized, an incision is made in the lower abdomen to expose the uterus, the uterus is opened using a special stapling device to prevent bleeding, the surgical repair of the fetus is completed, the uterus followed by the maternal abdominal wall are closed, and the mother awakened.

Graves, MD , Michael R. Harrison, MD , Benjamin E. Padilla, MD * KEYWORDS Fetal surgery Fetal therapy Fetal diagnosis Prenatal diagnosis Fetoscopic surgery Fetoscopy KEY POINTS The goal of minimally invasive fetal treatments is to decrease maternal risk and premature rupture of membranes. Real-time ultrasound imaging is crucial to the implementation and success of minimally invasive fetal procedures. Multidisciplinary fetal procedural teams, including a fetal surgeon, ultrasonographer, peri- natologist, and anesthesiologist, are critical to the delivery of quality care. INTRODUCTION: NATURE OF THE PROBLEM History and General Principles In the past 50 years, fetal therapy has progressed from mere concept to an accepted and viable treatment modality. A better understanding of embryology and fetal devel- opment, coupled with the advent of high-resolution noninvasive fetal imaging, led to a fundamental shift in thinking of the fetus itself as a patient.1 With earlier and more ac- curate diagnosis of many congenital defects, the window of opportunity for interven- tion widened. Throughout the second half of the 20th century, physician and surgeon scientists took a rigorous scientific approach in tackling the problem of fetal surgery: identifying the clinical need, studying the natural history of diseases in the human fetus, understanding the pathophysiology and proposed treatments in the laboratory, and safely implementing fetal interventions in humans.
