Featured Specialties
Ochsner Medical Center has performed the first in utero surgery in the Gulf South region. During a groundbreaking surgery, Ochsner Medical Center’s fetal surgery team of 18 physicians and nurses operated on the 23-week-old fetus while still in his mother’s uterus, a procedure that fewer than 10 hospitals in the United States are able to perform. This surgery corrected a spina bifida birth defect. Learn more about this fetal surgery procedure.
