Abstract

Fetal airway obstruction that present during birth are challenging to manage. Cervical and thoracic mass may cause significant airway compression that leads to irreversible fetal morbidity and mortality. With the current advancement in prenatal diagnosis and assessment for surgical planning, EXIT has become an accepted, recognized and preferred option for safe delivery in complex head and neck masses. Ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) is a life-saving procedure that provides time to establish an airway while maintaining uteroplacental circulation. It requires flawless coordination amongst multidisciplinary team to ensure immediate and safe baby deliveries. Retrospective review of EXIT procedures performed from the initial establishment of pediatric otolaryngology service in this centre starting from January 2019 to December 2020. Based on the prenatal diagnosis, five EXIT cases were performed in this centre within 2 years. 4 cases were diagnosed as lymph atic malformation and 1 immature teratoma with cervical and thoracic compression. 4 babies successfully delivered to airway without any complications with 1 death resulting from disseminated intravascular coagulopathy after EXIT. This review of five EXIT procedures aims to bring forth the different outcomes, preoperative planning and sharing our experience as a tertiary and newly established centre. Early prenatal diagnosis, good collaboration and experience among multidisciplinary team ensures good long term outcomes.
