Fetal ultrasoud is a powerful weapon for the surgical treatment
of lethal disorders in newborns.
At present, screening ultrasound which is undertaken by obstetricians,
is essential for all fetus. However, some disorders are difficult to diagnose
and sometimes missed. Special care should be paid for diaphragmatic hernia,
bronchopulmonary anomalies and giant omphalocele etc.
Besides the diagnosis, the severity should be evaluated in each
disorder for future treatments. Therefore, co-opertion between pediatric
surgeons and obstetricians should be established.
