Doctors test pioneering womb surgery to fix Babies' bellies before birth

NCT ID NCT05704257

Summary

This study is testing a new surgery performed on babies while they are still in the womb to repair a serious birth defect called complex gastroschisis, where the intestines develop outside the body. The goal is to see if this early repair is safe and possible, and if it helps babies survive and have fewer health problems after birth compared to waiting for surgery after delivery. The study will follow 10 mothers and their babies closely for a year.
