Semin Perinatol. 1999 Dec;23(6):535-40. doi: 10.1016/s0146-0005(99)80032-9.

Abstract

Consensus about complex clinical decisions among specialists with diverse backgrounds will always be a challenge. A specialized center, which focuses on the fetus with an anomaly, provides the most accurate diagnosis and maternal-fetal management recommendations to referring physicians. The essential components of a fetal therapy center facilitate a systematic approach for the mother carrying a fetus with an anatomic malformation.
