Sometimes ultrasound examinations are not sufficient to diagnose or rule out certain hereditary diseases with certainty. Sometimes it is necessary to literally see the outside of the unborn child in order to examine it for signs of disease.
If the conditions are right – such as access to the uterus of the expectant mother – we perform these procedures at the DZFT as early as the second trimester of pregnancy.
If you have any further questions about diagnostic fetoscopies or biopsies, or if you would like to obtain a second opinion, please contact the DZFT daily between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on 0175/597-1213 or send us an email.
If you only reach the answering machine, please leave your name and a telephone number where we can call you back.
