The baby's first successful operation in the womb!

The Dhaka Times Desk What never happened before happened now. The first successful surgery on a baby in the womb. The event is India.

Indian physicians made a history. They weaponized the unborn child in the womb. This is the first such rare weapon launch in India.

At 27 weeks of pregnancy, a woman suddenly developed a 90 percent heart block in her unborn child. That is why pure blood is mixing with contaminated blood. As a result, either the child will die in the womb, or the newborn will live for only a few years with complications after birth. But no matter how difficult the situation was, doctor KN Nageswara Rao did not give up. He and his team of 8 specialists performed a rare 150-minute surgery at Care Hospital, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad on October 23. A team of 22 doctors from Cardiology, Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pediatrics departments are the soldiers of this success.

The doctors said that the most courageous thing was shown by the pregnant woman herself. M. Sirisha, being a science teacher, understood the extent of the complications. After she consented, the first operation was attempted at 25 weeks. But as that attempt failed, this surgery was successful in the second attempt after 27 weeks. KN Nageshwar said, 'Now only 60 percent of the work has been completed. The remaining 40 percent will be after the birth of the child. The child of M. Sirisha is going to see the light of the world in the third week of December.

An elated doctor Nageshwar told the media, 'I have been waiting for the last 10 years to perform this kind of groundbreaking surgery. I tried once three years ago and failed. That child was dead. But this mother will give birth to a healthy baby.' Although this type of surgery has been done in Europe and USA, this is the first in India. According to the Care Hospital authorities, the cost of this treatment is approximately Rs 3 lakh.

Now just wait. The family, hospital and doctors are waiting for the baby to be born safely. They hope that the efforts of the doctors will be successful only if the birth is healthy.
