Summary

The focus of this chapter is to discuss a multidisciplinary approach to maternal-fetal patients undergoing minimally invasive (shunt or fetoscopic) procedures, open fetal surgery, or the ex-utero intrapartum therapy (EXIT) procedure. The team requires a diverse group of personnel. We will discuss the nature of this team and the pertinent aspects of the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phase of care for the maternal-fetal patient. The preparation required for the team members providing care for these patients as well as the long-term follow-up and research aspects are outlined. Comprehensive expert care for these interventions requires administrative, institutional, research, and philanthropic support.
