Doctors Peform First-ever Brain Surgery On Baby Inside Womb

Medical doctors have performed a first-ever brain surgery on a baby with a deadly genetic disorder while it is still inside the mother's womb.

The yet-to-be-born baby was diagnosed with a vein of Galen malformation at 30 weeks and children born with this kind of condition have a 30 per cent chance of dying before age 11, Daily Mail reported on Thursday.

The surgery which involved cutting into the womb, the baby's skull and then operating on the developing brain was carried out by a ten-man team of doctors at the Boston Children's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, United States.

The operation requires slicing into the pregnant woman's abdomen and using an ultrasound to identify the artery and guide the surgery.

After the operation, the baby's mother gave birth to a healthy baby boy two days later without birth defects.

THE LEARNING HUB: Some Tips To Have A Healthy Relationship

Never underestimate the value of asking your partner how his day went. Some fights are just fights. They don't have to be deal brakers. Not all disagreements means that things are all over. All cuples fight but it's how you resolve it that counts Schedule time for yourselves. There is no need to fill your social calendar up every weekend with group events or trips. Take things easy and pencil in a visit to the cinema or a picnic in the park just for the two of you. More “ I love you “ are better than fewer. Nobody gets tired of hearing that they are loved. You really can't say it too often. Kiss hello before doing anything else when you get home. Kiss good bye when you leave Respond to each other's texts, calls… no screening when it comes to your significant other. If he needs to get in touch for whatever reason that should be priority.
