Summary
This study is testing a fetal surgery procedure called FETO to help babies with the most severe form of a birth defect called congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The surgery temporarily blocks the baby's windpipe while still in the womb to help the lungs grow bigger before birth, aiming to improve survival chances. The study will enroll 10 pregnant women carrying babies with this severe condition to see if the procedure can be performed safely and effectively.
