Historic Surgery: Baby Temporarily Removed at 23 Weeks to Remove Tumor, Returns Safely
I just read about an incredible medical feat that completely blew my mind. Dr. Oluyinka Olutoye, a pediatric surgeon from Nigeria, performed a rare surgery on a fetus at just 23 weeks. He temporarily removed the baby from the womb, removed a tumor from its tailbone, and then safely returned it. Months later, the baby was born healthy.
Honestly, I can’t stop thinking about the courage, skill, and sheer precision that must have taken. The idea of performing surgery on a tiny life still in the womb—it’s both terrifying and awe-inspiring. This story reminds me how far medicine has come and how human determination can truly create miracles.
It also makes me reflect on the incredible impact one person can have. One surgeon, one decision, and a family’s world was changed forever. I feel so inspired and hopeful reading this. Truly, some stories just restore your faith in humanity.
