US Surgeons Perform Brain Surgery On Baby Still In Womb

They attempted to fix a condition, which can cause heart failure and stroke after birth.

Surgeons in the US have performed brain surgery on a baby in the womb.

The team at Boston Children's Hospital used ultrasound to guide a needle through the mother's stomach to the baby's skull.

They attempted to fix a condition, which can cause heart failure and stroke after birth.

The baby was delivered two days later, without a decline in its condition.

In an update at 6 weeks, Dr. Darren Orbach said the baby is "progressing remarkably well", eating normally and gaining weight.
