Innovative fetal surgery at university hospital
A medical team at Jordan University Hospital successfully performed a pioneering surgical intervention to save the life of a fetus suffering from complete congenital blockage of the larynx and trachea. This took place during a cesarean section before the baby was separated from the placenta. The condition was precisely diagnosed before birth, and after a comprehensive evaluation, the procedure was carried out at 36 weeks of pregnancy. The operation lasted only 20 minutes and successfully secured an airway for the fetus in advance. The baby is currently in the neonatal intensive care unit in stable condition and is under continuous medical supervision, with a future plan to reconstruct the airway and larynx depending on the development of the case. This achievement is considered the first of its kind in the region and reflects the advanced level of integrated medical care and interdisciplinary collaboration within the hospital.
