dc.description	Fetal surgery is a rapidly evolving field that offers life-saving interventions and improved quality of life for unborn babies with congenital abnormalities. Myelomeningocele, the most severe form of spina bifida, is a common neurologic condition with proven benefit from prenatal repair. Intrauterine interventions require a collaborative effort from a diverse multidisciplinary team to ensure the health and safety of both the expectant mother and the developing fetus. The Mater Mothers’ Hospital began fetal surgery in 2001, performing more than 400 cases to date. This includes 25 open myelomeningocele repairs, the most common open fetal surgery. As of 2018, the Mater was one of 34 hospitals globally performing this procedure and remains the sole Australasian referral centre for open fetal surgery. As additional centres around the world prepare to offer fetal surgery, it is important to understand the perioperative considerations of these complex interventions. This article will briefly overview fetal surgery before reviewing myelomeningocele and the significant maternal, fetal and anaesthetic considerations specific to open fetal surgery for myelomeningocele repair.	en_US
