‍Preventing Future Miscarriages

‍Dr. Morris specializes in preventing recurrent miscarriages through today’s cutting edge medical technology of Fetoscopy and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD).Dr. Randy Morris is one of only a few skilled reproductive specialists in the nation to diagnose the cause of recurrent miscarriages through fetoscopy. Fetoscopy is similar to a hysteroscopy surgical procedure. Dr. Morris uses a fiber optic telescope to retrieve a tissue sample of the fetus that was recently miscarried. The fetal tissue is then analyzed in a laboratory for the presence of any chromosomal defects causing miscarriage.

‍Benefits of Fetoscopy

‍Through a fetoscopy, Dr. Morris will be able to

• Examine the uterus
• Extract a fetal tissue sample
• Analyze the fetal tissue to diagnose why miscarriage is recurring

Unlike the standard D&C procedure, the mother’s placenta will not contaminate the fetal tissue test results. Fetoscopy is the most reliable procedure for Dr. Morris determine the cause of a miscarriage. Another advantage of the fetoscopy is its reliability in analyzing the cause of recurrent miscarriages.

Causes of Recurrent Miscarriages

The majority of recurrent miscarriages are caused by abnormalities in the number of chromosomes in an embryo. These defective embryos may be able to attach to the mother’s uterine lining, but do not have the strength to thrive into a normal fetus.Abnormalities in the number of chromosomes comprising an embryo can be detected through Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD). Recent studies have found that a majority of recurrent miscarriages occur due to abnormalities in the number of chromosomes making up an embryo.
