MILESTONE IN FETAL MEDICINE
Dr. Mandeep Singh, Consultant Maternal & Fetal Medicine, presented the revolutionary surgical case of in utero Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) for severe left-sided defect at the 21st World Congress in Fetal Medicine at Lisbon, Portugal. The first-ever in utero repair of severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), carried out at 27 weeks of gestation, marks a giant leap in the management of this life-threatening condition. Dr. Mandeep performed the surgery in collaboration with Dr. Mauricio Herrera M, National Chief of Maternal-Fetal Medicine and Obstetrics - Keralty, and pediatric surgeons Dr. Natalia Ordoñez and Dr. Martin Larrota. This disease has a very high mortality with a survival rate of only 15%.
