Unborn baby has pioneering surgery inside the womb. Now his doctor is waiting to see if it was a success

A groundbreaking surgery was performed on an unborn baby in the U.K., marking a significant step in fetal medicine. Maisie Savage's baby, Theo, who was born with gastroschisis, had complex intestines outside his body. Instead of waiting until birth for treatment, doctors performed the pioneering surgery in the womb, a move that could drastically improve outcomes for babies with similar conditions. The success of this procedure could lead to better long-term health for Theo and may set a precedent for future treatments for other fetal medical conditions.
