Fetal surgery through an open uterus: the uterus has been opened & the fetus wrapped in plastic to maintain temperature & fluid balance,ready for an incision to repair her diaphragmatic hernia. This operation,at the Hopital-Saint-Vincent-De-Paul,France,on 22nd July 1991,was the first successful European attempt at such a technique. The 7-month fetus had a diaphragmatic hernia,a defect that resulted in the contents of her gut protruding into the chest cavity & obstructing lung development. Baby Alexandra was born by Caesarean section on 30th July 1991,at 30 weeks,with no complications & made a good recovery | |
