Doctors in Barcelona have made history in European fetal medicine by successfully operating on a fetus weighing only 700 grams affected by severe gastroschisis, a congenital malformation that leaves a large part of the intestines outside the abdomen. The intervention was performed inside the mother's womb at 28 weeks of gestation and has resolved the infant's digestive system problems without further complications. The baby was born by cesarean section six weeks after the intervention. The infant is progressing favorably and is, in fact, feeding normally.
