(Portland, OR) -- A local baby with Spina Bifida has a chance for a more normal life, after ground-breaking surgery at OHSU's Doernbecher Children's hospital. Recently, a team of fetal surgeons performed the region's first in-utero repair for little Lorenzo, whose spine didn't close properly during pregnancy. They used a tiny camera at the end of a long tube, inserted through his mother's abdomen into the uterus, to make the repair. While not a cure, doctors say this procedure gives Lorenzo a chance for better long-term health outcomes than traditional after-birth repair.
