A baby survived an incredible operation when the doctors carried out column surgery inside the uterus after being temporarily withdrawn from his mother’s body at 26 weeks – and now both are prosperous.
The English woman Serena Nye was relieved to see her newborn son kick her legs after the end of complex lock hole surgery in her belly.
Last year, the 24 -year -old woman was informed during her 20 -week pregnancy exam that her born son had Spina Bifida. Due to the growth of its spine and a cyst that developed at the base of its spine, they were warned that this would probably be seriously handicapped, with a high risk of paralysis.
Serena and her partner had the choice to continue or terminate pregnancy or undergo fetoscopic surgery. Thus, six weeks later, the doctors took the belly of Serena out of her body to operate on the spine of her unborn son – and three hours later, his belly and his baby were sewn inside his body until it is time to give it.
At 31 weeks, Tommy Bown was born – and was able to eat normally and kick him, thanks to surgery.
He spent four weeks in the hospital before the parents who adopted Serena and Chris Bown brought him back to East Sussex.
The Tot, now three months old, has taken all its steps, and a scar on the back of surgery is the only proof of its operation.

“When we discovered that he had Spina Bifida, we were in shock. We heard all these stories. We thought he would never walk or eat alone.
“A few weeks later, Tommy was born. I saw him in the incubator, and he was so tiny – but his legs moved!
“After weeks at the factory, it was a massive relief to bring him home,” Serena told the news agency Swns.com“With his scar on her back as a crazy reminder of what happened.”
“Now I look at my baby and I think,” You have no idea what you have already experienced. “
“Before surgery, I was so nervous. We knew there were risks, but the positive points were even higher.
The operation took place at King’s College Hospital, and everything went well.
“We had no idea what he would be able to birth, even if he showed good signs during pregnancy.
Tommy was finally brought back to the house on October 19, and has become stronger and has taken steps since.
“I can’t wait to sit down and tell him what he went through when he is older.
“The next steps are waiting for it to crawl (but) for the moment, no one can believe how well it is.”
