Fact-check the reference to vesicostomy; use of a catheter implies the procedure was placement of a vesicoamniotic shunt (as in the cited newspaper story), not a vesicostomy. Also, I deleted the claim that open fetal surgery has proven safe for mother and fetus; that is far too absolute. Una Smith 04:28, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The image Image:Samuel Armas Aug19 1999.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

This article is about "any of a broad range of surgical techniques that are used to treat birth defects in fetuses who are still in the pregnant uterus". Eugene Gu is known for transplanting human fetal organs into animal hosts, and more general research involving human fetal material. That's not about surgical techniques used to treat birth defects in fetuses. It might conceivably have such applications later, though my impression is that Gu wants to grow those organs to treat infants or otherwise non-fetal humans, not to transplant them back into fetuses. In either case, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball that gazes into a hypothetical future, and none of the independent sources connects Gu to fetal surgery. Neither the "Research" section discussing Gu's work nor the "see also" link are relevant to the topic of this article. There's also the problem that the only scientific source about Gu's work is by Gu himself. I don't think that's the kind of independent, secondary source we should use according to WP:MEDRS. Thus I'll remove both the section and the "see also" link. Huon (talk) 19:54, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It says this is given for anaesthesia the night before surgery, as well as an antacid. H2 blockers (antagonists) are antacids. Not sure if I'm misreading this bit but it doesn't seem quite right. Brionyvet (talk) 22:01, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
