The fact that she is doing so well today, the 16-month-old Alaitz owes a risky procedure: Even before she was born doctors operated on her in the womb in the respiratory tract. Again and again it creates modern medicine, to amaze us with their latest technology. So also in the case of an unprecedented operation in Spain: Spanish doctors here have saved a girl's life before birth. The doctors had found in Barcelona in a fetus with an ultrasound examination of a closure of a dangerous swelling of the bronchial tubes and lungs. She then took on the media reports on Wednesday before an intervention in the womb.
They introduced a tube through the mouth of the fetus and open the bronchial tubes. "Without the operation the girl would be born dead," reported the doctors Julio Moreno. The child was born three months after the procedure, is now 16 months old and leads a normal life. Her name Alaitz, which means in Basque "joy". The surgery was just over one and a half years after the doctors have been the first of its kind worldwide. They lasted only half an hour, but had been very complicated, said Moreno. A fetus of 800 grams was a very fine fabric. In addition, the operation only a few millimeters from the heart was carried away. "The surgery was the only way out was," recalled the 33-year-old mother Monica Colomina. "We had to either take the risk, or an abortion."
