Fetoscopy is a procedure where a small camera is inserted into the uterus to view the fetus and perform surgical interventions, such as closing the opening in the spine for spina bifida. This procedure is less invasive than open fetal surgery and is typically used for mild cases of spina bifida. Chorionic villus sampling and noninvasive prenatal testing are not surgical procedures and are used for different purposes such as genetic testing. Ultrasound is used for imaging and diagnosis but not for surgical intervention.
