The Fetal Treatment Center

Semin Pediatr Surg. 1993 May;2(2):143-6.

Abstract

Unanimity of opinion about clinical decisions will always be difficult among a variety of specialists with disparate backgrounds. The Fetal Treatment Center is a regionalized approach that utilizes the necessary specialists and facilities to provide the most accurate diagnosis and maternal-fetal patient care management recommendations to referring physicians. This model offers a systematic approach for the mother carrying a fetus with an anatomic anomaly.
