Fetal Diagnosis & Therapy
Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy is a highly specialized field that focuses on the detection, monitoring, and treatment of medical conditions affecting the unborn baby. Under the expert supervision of Dr. Ashwini Rathi, advanced diagnostic techniques and evidence-based fetal therapies are used to optimize outcomes for both the mother and the fetus.
What is Fetal Diagnosis?
Fetal diagnosis involves detailed ultrasound, Doppler studies, genetic screening, and invasive tests such as amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) to accurately detect structural, genetic, and chromosomal abnormalities during pregnancy.
What is Fetal Therapy?
Fetal therapy includes medical or interventional procedures performed before birth to treat or reduce the severity of certain fetal conditions. These therapies aim to improve survival and long-term health outcomes for the baby.
Diagnostic Procedures Offered
- Amniocentesis
- Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)
Therapeutic Procedures Offered
- Selective fetal reduction in high order pregnancies
- Amnioreduction in selected cases
- Medical management of fetal congenital heart block
- For other procedures like intra-uterine transfusion, radiofrequecy ablation, Bipolar cord coagulation and laser for TTTS; appropriate referrals to higher centers for multidisciplinary management can be organized.
How are these procedures performed?
All diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are carried out under continuous ultrasound guidance using international safety protocols. Strict aseptic precautions are followed to minimize risks and ensure patient safety.
