Core Tip	Fetal surgery in animal models has become a promising technique for analyses of organ histogenesis and organogenesis. Using unique in utero (IU) and exo utero (EU) methods, developmental anomalies could be created and repaired during the prenatal period. Here, we review the IU and EU surgical techniques, focusing on methods and outcomes in various experimental animals.
