A few months ago, an incredible San Antonio couple came to us with an extremely rare condition; their unborn baby girl had a tumor growing on her lung. As the mass grew in size, it took up a large amount of her chest cavity and affected her breathing. After a successful 11-hour procedure, in which Dr. Olutoye and his amazing team of specialists partially removed the baby from her mother while they removed her tumor, I am happy to announce that baby Alejandra is healthy and off to happy start at life!
The CBS Early Show produced a segment on the family’s miraculous story and I’m so exited to share it with you!
My heart goes out to the Rodriguez family and I wish them all the best!
More information on EXIT procedures:
An EXIT (ex utero intrapartum treatment) involves surgeons partially removing the fetus from the womb and performing surgery while the fetus remains attached to the umbilical cord. When the procedure is complete, the baby's umbilical cord is cut, and surgeons deliver the baby.
