Fetal Reduction Expert Witnesses in South East
Fetal Reduction is a specialist procedure used in selected multiple pregnancies to reduce the number of fetuses, usually to lower the risks associated with higher-order pregnancies or address serious fetal abnormalities. Decisions require detailed ultrasound assessment, consideration of chorionicity, specialist counselling and informed consent. Potential complications include miscarriage, infection, premature birth and loss of the remaining pregnancy. Independent Fetal Reduction Expert Witnesses can provide specialist clinical opinions on patient selection, prenatal diagnosis, risk counselling, procedural technique, informed consent, pregnancy monitoring, complications and standards of care in Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury cases.
