Perinatal Surgery Fellowship

Baylor College of Medicine, through its Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery, has developed a unique educational program designed to enhance the training and expertise of both Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) and Pediatric Surgery-trained physicians in the diagnosis and management of fetuses and neonates with specific conditions and congenital malformations.

The Perinatal Surgery Fellowship is a two-year program, which trains pediatric surgeons and obstetricians with expertise in maternal-fetal medicine to care for fetal patients with complex diseases such as twin-twin-transfusion syndrome (TTTS), amniotic band syndrome, twin-reversed-arterial-perfusion sequence (TRAP), lung masses, diaphragmatic hernia, urinary tract obstruction, abdominal wall malformations, neural tube defects, congenital tumors, neck masses, congenital cardiac abnormalities and tongue and mouth tumors.
