Fetal Therapy


This book covers the exciting developments of the last ten years of fetal therapy including drug treat ment, blood transfusions, and operations on the fetus inside the womb. It is written by experts on both side of the Atlantic, actively involved in research in this field. It is the only book to cover both the invasive forms of treatment given directly to the fetus, and the indirect forms given via the mother, as well as the only book to cover the medical as well as surgical aspects of this field. It will be an essential source of reference for all those involved in the care of the unborn child, and particularly for obstetricians training in fetal medicine.
