From prenatal diagnosis through neonatal surgery and beyond—a multidisciplinary resource for an evolving specialty 

Fetal and Neonatal Surgery and Medicine is a comprehensive resource for all clinicians who care for fetal and neonatal patients. Focusing on the continuum of care from prenatal diagnosis through the neonatal period and beyond, the text guides specialists who deliver care to patients before and after delivery and offers invaluable insights to equip those counseling parents faced with a fetal anomaly.

Chapters are heavily illustrated to help the reader visualize what the chapter discusses.
