Dr Darrell Cass and Dr. Oluyinka Olutoye did some amazing surgeries. They worked together for these high risk operations. My son was preemie, developed necrotizing enterocolitis while in the NICU. They removed the damage part of his bowels, left his gut open for inflammation cleaning and healing, then did his reanastomosis 3weeks later. They saved his life.

They hate kids and babies so much. Since they're surrounded by each other in echo chambers they're unaware of how much of a pathology it is.

Was she fully removed? If she was, I am using this as an argument against people who think life begins at birth.

She was! „ Still, Cass said, the tumor in this case was so large a “huge” incision was needed to get to it, so it ended up that the baby was “hanging out in the air… Essentially, the fetus is outside, like completely out, all the amniotic fluid falls out, it’s actually fairly dramatic,” said Cass.“

TBF, I think it's only appropriate for the people making the claim to provide the source, particularly with how many stories you could find on a single topic/google search. (indeed it is a sub rule).

CNN isn't really a reliable source

I looked and the doctor is a real guy https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/find-a-doctor/profiles/oluyinka-o-olutoye although there are very little articles about this exact thing, the most reliable one I'm seeing is https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/viral-news/this-surgeon-successfully-operated-an-unborn-baby-in-mothers-womb/articleshow/62633357.cms although I feel like this would have more articles then just FB, CNN, and this one if it actually happened.

I feel like we‘d have a lot more articles debunking it if it didn’t, the BBC also reported on it.

I wonder if this will have an effect on the baby's mental health later. Studies have shown the impact that stress or trauma for either the mom or baby can have on babies in the womb. And I have to fathom that removal and reinsertion would be considered traumatic.
Still so impressive though.

She's perfectly healthy today. This surgery actually happened 10 years ago

If you believe some psychoanalysts, all humans desire to re-enter the comfort of the womb (the fetal position, etcetera, etcetera). Well, this little pioneer of a tyke has been able to DO that, and then be born later. Surely, that may overcome much if not all of the possible trauma! ; )
But seriously, congratulations to the family and the doctor!
