In brief
Survey of fetal surgery subspecialty training and practice patterns in pediatric surgery. Findings reveal variable service composition across fetal medicine centers, with limited numbers of surgeons managing diverse fetal surgical interventions.
- Fetal surgery centers offer variable services and interventions with inconsistent composition across institutions.
- There is a limited number of surgeons managing a broad range of fetal surgical procedures.
- Subspecialization in fetal surgery within pediatric surgery remains heterogeneous in structure and scope.

A three-column comparison layout with medical illustrations of esophageal procedures. Each column contains anatomical diagrams in blue and pink tones showing the esophagus and stomach, with accompanying text boxes below describing outcomes. The left column shows balloon dilation, the middle shows Heller myotomy, and the right shows POEM procedure. Success rates are prominently displayed with percentage values.
