Prenatal decision-making for myelomeningocele changed in 2011, when MOMS (Management of Myelomeningocele Study) demonstrated the effectiveness of intrauterine fetal surgery, thereby securing this intervention as an alternative to either pregnancy termination or postnatal repair.1 Although it is hoped that an evidence-based approach to medical decisions using the MOMS results would improve the quality of information received by pregnant patients, we believe that unless specific steps are taken, prenatal counseling for myelomeningocele (counseling that occurs in myriad locations across the United States) will be persistently marred by hidden biases and excess variability.We believe this prenatal counseling will be affected for 3 reasons. First, the MOMS results present tradeoffs. Rates of ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement and ambulation were improved for children who underwent prenatal repair but with higher rates of prematurity and respiratory distress syndrome, as well as important maternal complications. Adding to the uncertainty, long-term outcomes are unavailable; prognosis remains difficult to predict for any given fetus; and posttrial complication rates reportedly differ from trial results, with higher rates of perinatal death (6% vs 3%) and respiratory distress syndrome (52% vs 21%) but fewer maternal complications (pulmonary edema, 2% vs 6%; maternal transfusion, 3.4% vs 9%).1 Women undergoing intrauterine surgery require cesarean deliveries for all future pregnancies. The reasoning regarding such multifaceted risk/benefit tradeoffs for obstetric and neonatal interventions is notably difficult for both physicians and patients. Second, physicians commonly have differing opinions regarding newer interventions that have not become standard of care, based on personal experiences and interpretations of the literature. One survey of maternal-fetal medicine and pediatrics specialists conducted before the MOMS results were published found no agreement regarding whether to recommend open intrauterine surgery for a hypothetical fetal condition similar to myelomeningocele.3 Furthermore, attitudes diverged about appropriate reasons to consider pregnancy termination in general, the importance of offering information about pregnancy termination when myelomeningocele is diagnosed, and supportiveness for patients'
