There are only about 600 candidates for prenatal surgery in the United States each year. Of these, only about 10% actually undergo the procedure.

A combined test typically refers to a diagnostic procedure that integrates multiple assessments to evaluate a specific condition or set of conditions simultaneously. In medical contexts, it often pertains to prenatal testing, such as the combined first-trimester screening, which assesses the risk of chromosomal abnormalities by analyzing maternal blood markers and an ultrasound measurement of the nuchal translucency. In other fields, it can signify the integration of different testing methods to improve accuracy or reliability of results.
The prenatal assessment procedure in which tissue is taken from the membrane around the embryo is called chorionic villus sampling (CVS). This procedure involves extracting chorionic villi, which are tiny projections from the placenta that contain genetic material from the fetus. CVS is typically performed between the 10th and 13th weeks of pregnancy and can help diagnose genetic disorders.
