Official Title: Risk Factors Associated With Spontaneous Preterm Delivery Status Post Open Fetal Myelomeningocele Repair

Brief Summary: This is a chart review of all patients who have underwent open prenatal repair of fetal myelomeningocele. Although prenatal repair is associated with improved neurologic outcomes and a decreased need for cerebrospinal fluid shunting after birth, one of the major risks is preterm delivery. This study is intended to identify maternal, fetal or intraoperative risk factors associated with preterm delivery.
