The baby had incredibly rare defect ectopia cordis that affects only eight in every million births and ninety percent of these are stillborn or die within three days. Dr. Yogendra Gupta said they had to create some space in the baby’s chest to accommodate baby’s heart. The baby has undergone a revolutionary life-saving surgery.

    Really great yaar.
    Hats off to the doctors who had done the operation and saved the life of the baby…

  • @sricharan.. Really ra.. Thank God..baby is safe…Doctor profession is truly such a great one. They have to be very careful while doing any operation as there is no ‘undo’ or ‘redo’ for what ever they do.
