Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Anglais)

Fetoscopic surgery saves or improves the life of babies. However, in 30-80% of all cases, the surgery leads to preterm rupture of the fetal membrane and preterm birth. Within this project, an novel minimal invasive device for the closure and reinforcement of fetal membrane defects will be developed.
