EXIT procedure

Ex utero intrapartum treatment, also called an EXIT procedure, is a surgical procedure that is used to deliver babies who have airway compression due to cervical teratomas, cystic hygromas or blockage of the airway such as congenital high airway obstruction (CHAOS) syndrome. The procedure has also been used to stabilize and perform resection for babies with massive lung lesions. It is similar to a cesarean section (C-section), but there are some important differences.
