2nd Hamburg International Symposium on Maternal-Fetal Medicine
Focus on Fetal Interventions and Postnatal Outcome
Prenatal diagnosis, fetal surgery, postnatal care — three disciplines, one clinical question: when is intervention before birth warranted, and when is it not? On October 9 and 10, 2026, international fetal surgeons, neonatologists, and maternal-fetal medicine specialists from Europe and the United States meet at Bucerius Law School Hamburg to work through that question, condition by condition.
Topics include CDH, open spina bifida, abdominal wall defects, monochorionic twin complications, preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, cardiac and neurological anomalies, and antibody-mediated diseases in pregnancy (FNAIT, HDFN, GALD).
