Journal of Fetal Surgery

Aims and Scope

Journal of Fetal Surgery (JFS) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing research, innovation, and clinical practice in the field of fetal and neonatal surgery. JFS serves as a platform for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare providers to share their experiences, discoveries, and critical updates to enhance the quality of surgical care for fetuses and neonates.  
 

Scope and Focus: JFS publishes all aspects of fetal and neonatal surgery, including but not limited to:  

• Fetal Surgery Techniques: Advances in minimally invasive, open, and experimental fetal surgery.  
• Neonatal Surgery: Surgical management of congenital anomalies and neonatal emergencies.  
• Obstetric and Gynecologic Interventions: Maternal-fetal procedures and their impact on fetal health.  
• Fetal Imaging and Diagnostics: Innovations in ultrasound, MRI, and other imaging techniques for prenatal diagnosis.  
• Genetics and Congenital Disorders: Role of genetics in fetal anomalies and surgical decision-making.  
• Neonatal Intensive Care and Perioperative Management: Preoperative and postoperative care strategies for neonates.  
• Anesthesia and Pain Management: Specialized anesthetic considerations in fetal and neonatal surgery.  
• Artificial Intelligence(AI) technologies in prenatal diagnosis, surgical planning, and outcome prediction for fetal surgical interventions. 
   

JFS welcomes contributions from a broad range of disciplines, including obstetrics, gynecology, pediatric surgery, neonatology, anesthesia, pathology, imaging, genetics, and nursing. The journal is committed to publishing the highest quality research to provide timely, impactful information that helps improve clinical decision-making and outcomes in fetal and neonatal surgery.
