A recent focus on fetal surgery has raised the possibility of fetal cleft lip and palate repairs. Because of the fetus's marked plasticity, fetal repairs may have results that more closely approximate normality. Furthermore, the impact on cost management could be dramatic with a decreased need for extensive postoperative care, orthodontia, and speech therapy. This article considers the future prospects of intrauterine cleft lip repair as the next generation of surgical advances.
最近对胎儿手术的关注增加了胎儿唇腭裂修复的可能性。由于胎儿具有显著的可塑性，胎儿修复可能会产生更接近正常的结果。此外，对成本管理的影响可能很大，因为术后广泛护理、正畸治疗和言语治疗的需求会减少。本文将宫内唇裂修复视为下一代外科进展，探讨其未来前景。
