Fetal Intervention

What We Are

Fetal interventions include various procedures which are done on fetuses while in the womb to make the diagnosis and rectify any issues. We at our centre, perform various fetal interventions like amniocentesis, chorionic villous sampling, multifetal reductions, amnioinfusion.

FETAL PROCEDURE

1. CHORIONIC VILLOUS SAMPLING

It is done between 11-13 weeks. In this test, a needle is inserted through mother’s abdomen and few cells are taken from the placental tissue.

2. AMNIOCENTESIS

This test is performed after 16 weeks. In this test, a needle is inserted through mother’s abdomen, and amniotic fluid around the baby is collected.

3. AMNIOINFUSION/AMNIOREDUCTION

In this, if amniotic fluid is less, some fluid is instilled in to the amniotic cavity and in case of excess fluid around the baby, extra fluid is removed.

(Note- All the invasive procedures are associated with minor risks including abortion, infection etc. But we perform the tests under all aseptic precautions and so meticulously, that the rate of these complications is very less)
